Rarely, if ever, have I seen a proscenium stage with four electrics where there's been
too much distance from the upstage cyclight batten to the cyc. In an ideal world, I would say six to eight feet, but much is dependent on the total depth of the stage, as well as the fixtures.
Besides the above, Selecon (now part of Strand Lighting) is another major player in cyc light fixtures. From the
Aurora site:
Quote:
The Aurora Cyc luminaire will smoothly and evenly illuminate a 9.0m high cyclorama, scrim or back cloth from a throw distance of 3m when cycs are spaced at 2.5m centres; ideal for permanent installations or temporary rental/production requirements.

The manufacturers' sites, for the most part, contain great information. (I would add that the more photometric information the manufacturer provides, the better the fixture, and this applies to lensed fixtures as well.)
