Playing with my Aethers tonight.  Need your thoughts on coverage, you think I should have another on the left hand side pointing towards the other Aethers?  Overall I'm impressed on how well they do perform, awesome job RJ!

I used a lens to project the light to the opposite corner of my garage to give a more even light across the whole garage. I did this so I didn't have to run cables across the drive way.

If you look at my videos the left aether is on the right side of the driveway aimed with a lens at the left side of the garage door.

What lens do you have.  Currently both of these have the widest angle lens from the last coop

The only Aether II that has a lens is the far left one on the right side of the drive and it has a 45° lens. The rest of them have no lenses.

The Aether II on the right side of the drive lighting the garage was 8 ft away from the house aiming to the opposite side of the 16 ft garage door.

Its harder to tell on the videos, but in person it was pretty even with the light throw. I aimed it at the opposite side then moved it closer/further until I found the place where the spill over looked even on the right side.

It saved me from having to buy another transformer or running wires on the house across the driveway.

Well doesn't look like I'll get to test tonight  :(  Went from a beautiful morning (worked in the garage with the door open) to much colder and really windy (30 mph)

Ill report back as soon as I get a warm night to test it out again, yippee for Iowa weather.
