CYC Lighting

[BillConnerFASTC]

Ours ColorForce's are 30" away and they look fantastic @ at 24' trim. Also, if you are buying or specing strip fixtures of any type (zip strip, R40, or LED) and not stacking them yoke to yoke you will have issues. They are not designed to work like that.

Which is why we've gone to a PLCYC or S4CYC, and plan for about 5' from drop. The cost of the scraper fixtures for a whole sky drop is much higher because they need to be cheek to jowl. We're pretty comfortable with the two noted at 3 1/2-5' apart. Pretty even.

I have a situation where I got a plastic panels, 2 meters wide and 2,5 meters height. Need to light that evenly from the back with true colors, smooth dimming. Distance between the panel and a lighting source can be 2 meters. Wondering, does Philips plcyc1 mark II led open up enough?

I would say you need 2 fixtures. Cyc lights are intended to overlap each other to be smooth.
