<div>In your display configuration a couple of full spectrum wash units shining on a backdrop behind the window. Backdrop be a white diffuser like scrim or photo backdrop paper. </div><div>Stain glass windows are meant to be viewed with the sun shining through them. If you have a way of hanging it up in the air with a bright punchy source behind it, like the sun, so the colored shadows shine onto the floor, that would be fantastic. </div><div><br></div><div>Dale</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:88%;color:#364f67" dir="auto">Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone</div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: Stephen Rees via Stagecraft <stagecraft@theatrical.net> <br>Date: 7/28/17 07:53 (GMT-05:00) <br>To: Stagecraft <stagecraft@theatrical.net> <br>Cc: Stephen Rees <Stephen.Rees@fredonia.edu> <br>Subject: [SML] Exhibit Lighting <br><br><div dir="ltr">I'm a volunteer at a local historical museum and have just completed a support frame for an large, recently refurbished stained-glass window that was donated. Think old fashioned portable chalkboard structure. All well and good, but...<div>Now that the window is about to placed in the museum the PTB wish to back light window to reveal the detail in the glass. The lighting in the room is really not adequate to see this currently. The overall size is 60" wide by 55" tall and the bottom of the window sits 18" above the floor. The current idea is to place the unit about 24" in front of a blank wall. Any clever ideas about how we can light this item would be much appreciated. I'm thinking some kind of LED wash unit placed on the floor with a wide, diffuse spread is appropriate. I've been away too long to know what is in the market place that would suit.</div><div><br></div><div>This is likely to be somewhat temporary in nature. In future, I expect that the window will be placed so it can be viewed from both sides and lit with overhead ER fixtures with decent throw distance. </div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks in advance.</div><div>Steve</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Stephen E.
