Title: Aether II coop
Post by: RJ on August 06, 2013,

We are still working on the coop. The new version of the led is still not in stock but will be in about a month so we hope to get it rolling before that.

Whew, because if they were any more powerful we could strap them to a shark's head and make Dr. Evil happy.

Nice - thank you!! I'm trying to figure out if I want to cover the front of the house...20' length.... do I get two kits or just one? Need to go read up on the angle lens and see what I can figure out!

i used (3) Aether-II's last year. I would get 2 to cover 20'/
it all depends how saturated you want the colors.

ok...in for a penny, in for a pound right? 

I'll jump into the coop as well....likely they won't make it into the Halloween display, but should be ready to fire up for December!

now just figure our what lense to get.

just an FYI, if you're going for the widest range flood for the aether II    you dont need any lenses at all.


just in case people were worried about the quantities .

This is a good point to make as in the coop we are already way above the number of wide angle lenses (kit 5) currently available and that number may get smaller before the parts are ordered.

I agree with Sean 2 aether IIs should cover 20' well and also with Chris that no lenses are necessary.  I use all of mine without lenses and it saturates color so well over 9' (3' from house) it nearly overpowers the flexstrips near it.  The pics in this thread (2011 show) are of aether IIs on 9' sections of my house.  http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=7008.0 (http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=7008.0)

Not the best videos but wanted to show people what the Aether 2 looks like with/without the wide lens

This was about 8 ft from the wall and the wall is white in color.

No Lens

With Wide Lens

And then just on the front of my garage with the wide lens in.  2 Aethers sitting off the side about 6 ft from the front.

Very helpful....and WOW that device really throws off a lot of light!!

thanks for the video twooly, no lens looks like it spreads out better. just curious now as to whether to get 2 for a 13' section or if one will do. coop over tomorrow, better think fast! lol

From my testing, one would do 13' nicely. 

Wonder if I will be able to sleep with the showing running since I am adding aethers to second story where my bedroom is.  At least the kids rooms are in the rear of the house...

If you are used to sleeping in Alaska during the time of the year when the sun stays up day and night, sure  :)
