[SML] LED CYC LIGHTS

[Sean McCarthy]

If you're using a bounce and an RP (the Gerriets?) then I'd suggest
ColorForce strips all the way.

Border trim is usually in the 25' to 28' range.  We sometimes light from the front, more often  from the rear with a bounce upstage and a scrim downstage of the cyc.

If we could light the whole cyc height from just  below or above that would be great too.  (Until we want a sunset).  Power not an issue.  Presently we have standard incandescent.  1988 built theatre. Original Strand CD-80 dimmers.
