Thanks! That chart is helpful. I agree about the consistency in metrics. Some use candle power, some use lumens, some lumen specs just seem way off the chart.Hmm, if you have to keep it in micro form factor there aren't many choices. These are the ones I know of from theatrical companies:

I'm not familiar with any of the more architectural oriented fixtures, maybe @Kelite or someone else from Apollo has some more suggestions? It may come down to choosing either to have it be discrete or bright, it is a pretty huge ask to get S4 intensity out of small optics and heat-dissipation packages.
*I really wish there was more consistency in what metrics were listed in specs (though it is getting better with TM-30 reports becoming more common).
I like the beam bender idea...that just might be the answer. Then I can mount it to my 750s and etch the arrow into the ground with the raw powerBased on your photo, it doesn't look as bad as I thought. Seems like if it was "open" color and doubled the lumens, you'd be ok.
I think @josh88 answering my question about Ikea also gives you a better "small" fixture choice

My other though is: a source four and a beam bender. Then the light isn't hanging straight down and may be able to be hidden more easily.
In the mid seventies, our local TV station produced a year round noon hour show from one of four levels of our lobby. One of their two larger mobiles would park in a drop-off lane and they'd run in triax for up to five cameras; a normal 3 camera set up for the host, guest, and cover shot plus one or two more cameras for acts such as jugglers and animal acts further across the width of our lobby.Have you considered using Neutral Density gel on the sun to take it down in intensity? That should give you a better contrast to the S4 Mini.
That looks like a great fixture! Unfortunately we are a small non-profit with a limited budget. Just one of this fixture was more than my budget for the entire project We are always asked to do professional work with a consumer budget.
