This is true, but in my experience Leko's should only be used as Front and Special (Gobo's and spots) lighting. Fill light (Side, Top and backlight which I assume this is what you're refering to when you say Acting Area lights) should be provided by Frenels and Par's. Front light usually requires more focused light for shuttering and defined facelight to create more shadows and depth.
