[SML] Cyc light recommendations

[Keith Newman]

I have PLCyc 1 MKII units in my space. I am happy with their throw and most
of their colors. I am not thrilled with the yellows. My fixtures have three
years on them and are still holding up fine. For a 20' height, having
additional fixtures on the ground shooting up will help out immensely if it
is in your budget. I have 10 fixtures that are spaced around 5' apart. My
exposed cyc is around 16' and the fixtures hang 4' DS of the cyc. I have 8
additional fixtures to use for ground row purposes and they make a big
difference when trying to make different looks or running effects. The
PLCyc might not have enough throw to get you good saturation at the bottom
of your cyc. I would definitely look before you buy but overall, it is not
a bad fixture. https://www.strandlighting.com/global/products/plcyc1-mkii

If I was getting new fixtures, I would contact a trusted vendor and ask
them to bring in competing instruments for a shoot out and do a side by
side comparison.
