[SML] LED CYC LIGHTS

[Rob Graham]

We front-light our backdrop from the front using Altman SpectraCyc
100's; no bouncy shenanigans.  Our drop is a white-painted muslin
drop.  We get pretty decent coverage using 5 units roughly 4'6 from
the drop, spaced about 7' apart.  When we want more punch, we add 5
units to the bottom as a ground row.  We've used a white and a black
scrim in front of them at times, and been reasonably happy with the
results when we've done that.  I've considered putting all 10 units on
a batten for top light, but I've been satisfied with overall coverage
and brightness when compared to the ancient and inefficient
conventional 4-cell beasts we had prior.

I have been very happy with the output and color range of the units.
We got $15k from the dean a year or so ago, and went with the Altmans.
