Yeah, I agree with the aether on the steps. We get our lawn chairs out and hang out in the excitement but we are a tight neighborhood and there's a lot of TOT action.
I really dig the 2nd floor lighting. Are yours just sitting up there on the roof with sandbags or something? I would like 2 more for my 2nd floor but unsure how to mount, especially for winter.
Not sure if you planned on sequencing anything but I am doing a simple sequence this year for Halloween for the first time using only my 4 aethers. I have like 10 minute non music sequence where I have slow omnious fades and then about every 5 minutes there is lightning flashing for a few seconds. I bet that would be killer with your setup since you have the whole house washed. For lightning, the white is cool white and response of the led is fast. Almost strobe like. Sync that with 6 channels...
