Home Depot fixture $5.88

Just a heads up if you didn't know. I was waiting for a Northern Tool sale to get mine. Fixture itself appears to be identical to the Northern Tool one.  More pleasantly surprised I could find them in stock at my small town's location.

I got 4 Northern Tool ones and were like the ones in the Wiki, different than one pictured online. I paid 7.99 + a little shipping and just checked they are 9.99 now. However I'm happy with the fit.

I used this fixture for both of mine.  Worked/fitted just fine.

I just want to make sure, did you put an your Aether in it or are you just speculating that these are the same?

Haven't built mine yet but PJNMCT did successfully use this fixture for his in this thread: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login  Twooly said he used these for his in this thread too. 

Sorry I didn't provide more detail in my post.  I will update when I build mine.  To be honest, I still had to tweak the heatsink for the aether II's I built last year using the RJ certified Northern Tool fixture.  So I expect a little tweaking on these too.

They worked great.  Heat sink fit right in.  Little hard getting all the wiring in but it went in

Decided to see it for myself.  Tore one apart and tested the fit of the heatsink.  Fits perfectly!

Great!  Thanks for the info.

Note,

Please do not use plastic cases. The metal of the case is a big part of the heatsink. You will run your led to hot and shorten it's life by a large amount. I do not know if any of the cases you guys are posting are plastic but if so I recommend you do not use them.

These mentioned so far are not plastic.

Yep.  It's metal.  Pretty sure it's aluminum.  The cheesy handle is plastic though.  Chucked it and the stand since I will be making custom mounts for mine.

Not I, but I believe the 250 watt units are too small...just an opinion nothing more.
