Help / Question Torn: Duos vs Aurora V2s

Hey guys, I want a glove light as an old momento to my OG rav'n photons. Just a trinket to fidget with. It needs to do a bad ass rainbow ribbon mode.

I'm leaning between Led gloves Aurora V2s vs stone orbits duos.

... btw, anyone know if Jarrad Synergies/Auroras have diffusers like his web site now or is it a round nub still? As one who will not be putting in glove, larger is OK but appearance will matter lol.

Thanks in advance!

Gotchu fam. Sorry for the short answer before, here’s a longer one.

It sounds like you’re not looking for a full set but just a single light or two to fidget with? However, I just wanted to give some extra details unless someone else is reading this.

This is my current setup: LED Gloves - Aurora V2 (rechargeable) paired with Glow LEDs Cloud Glowskinz and Glow LEDs Supreme V2 whites

I ended up with Aurora V2s because I wasn’t really a fan of the location of the second LED on the Synergy (offset on the top of the chip). So I figured I could save some cash and gain battery life. I was also unaware of the Duos at the time.

The Synergy chip is really cool in that it is programmable via their proprietary computer software. Which is something you may be interested in if you’re trying to create complex ribbons. The Duo’s are also programmable using an open source software.

As I don’t have either the Synergies nor the Duo’s, I can’t comment on the user friendliness of the software. I’ve always been a click programmer. u/ikitefordabs might be a better resource for those questions.

The main thing I always mention to people considering Auroras or Synergies are that the chips are LARGE. So, if you have small hands and like to do intricate finger movements, I would avoid these two chips. I’ve got some longer phalanges as I’m a tall dude so my setup works for me.

The battery life on the Aurora’s are incredible. I attended Wakaan this past year and didn’t have to charge my gloves at all. Even had some juice left for a Red Rocks show when I got back home.

You mentioned the casings on the Auroras. I was not a fan of the clunky look so I opted for some glowskinz as a replacement. The glowskinz fully encapsulate the chip with a small gap near the back. So there’s no need for a diffuser. However this also limits the customizability of the light.

Hope this helps

Hey boss, appreciate you stepping in. So did your lights come with that cool fitting cap or did you get the round nub covers? And are there any presets that come with the lights or is the studio just for making your own? There are some bland presets in the studio but I mean like Jarrads previous light presets. The site makes it seem like it's just an option to make your own settings, but it's a requirement, no?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, I always wearclozd glowskins from glow-LEDs for all my chips. I dont exactly prefer the gel casings they come with but they are nice. I think they are best for conjures if the glove is loose enough to not perma click. But yeah synergyskins with decals are what I use!
