Consistency and monitoring
How are you liking the AI edge lights?
 
How are you liking the AI edge lights?
I like them and they are plenty powerful for what I have. I only have them at 50% for the max output in my schedule. Has a good spread and at 50% the cooling fan doesn't even have to kick on so no added noise. When turned up though the fan is still pretty quiet.
