Show off your 2011 Aether II test runs
« on: November 13, 2011, »
Starting a thread to share links on our progress. Got three of my 4 lights operational today (the other had  short and fried one of the 2 OHM resistors. Not a popular item, I can't seem to find one at any of the local shops). 

Couldn't wait to drag them out front for a quick dry run to get a feel for how they will fit in to this years show. All I can say is NICE!  Thanks again to RJ and Keith for a great co-op opportunity.

Heres a vid of a quick test sequence...no sound though:

Heres a picture of the house in the daytime. Just moved in Aug after doing the same show at the old house for 25 years. I'm really in over my head this year. Gonna need a LOT of light.

A daytime pic of the house is always helpful so we can see the colors and textures of the structure.

Thats what I was thinking.  It looks really good on the stucco or whatever that offwhite is.  A bit tougher on the grey brick.  Perfect house for floods.  Looks great.

Now I wish I had gotten more than 2 units.  4 seems a better in hindsight. :)

Anyone else have some aether II test runs to show? I am trying to figure out how many I need to completely wash my house. I  have attached a picture. What do you guys think?

Here's 2 aethers in action: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login  Gonna replace spot on entrance (wife's idea) with another aether.  I would consider 2 more for 2nd story but want to convert window frames and icicles to ss and unsure if necessary or how to do it. 

I agree with chrisatpsu 3 might do it.  But completely wash?  I vote 6.  2 left and right of garage, 2 right and left above garage on roof, 1 for doorway, and 1 for section to right of doorway mounted high to clear bush.

I think you'll be just fine with three, but if you have the means...sure, get six. Be advised, six Aether II's will prevent you from seeing anything out the front windows of your house....you could also be blinded and fall down the steps  ;D

I had three across the front and one on the side this year. Heres a couple of videos from different angles:
