[SML] Exhibit Lighting

[John Penisten]

It is absolutely not an inexpensive solution, but I have seen similar
installations use Rosco's LitePad product for soft, even lighting.  It is
very thin, has reasonable output and works well for this type of
application.  It should be rentable from many of the video/film production
houses.

Best,
John
