ChuckHutchings Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 How do those look in the dark? I've always found those to be pretty directional. The greens seem to be the worst - they have almost a "pea-green" color when viewed from the side.I think the peaness detracts from the color of the surrounding LEDs.

Version 3.0 only had 100 lights and didn't look full but adding the second strand cured that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magish01 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Which lights do you prefer...the wide angle 5mm or the m5 or m6 lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I did the chicken wire method last year, worked well, but takes way too long. This year is dual cages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
