I have 3 four-cell Altman Ground Row and Sky Cyc Luminaires from the FC series. (http://mail.altmanltg.com/publicsynergy/docs/BLItemDossier.asp?Item=FC-1&PLID=&Country=US)
It came to that time of the year when they needed to come down off the electric and have gels/lamps replaced. I had some other students take them down as I was not able to at the time. Unfortunately, the students didn't remember how they were focused when they were up there(they played around with them a little once they were on the ground). I also don't remember how they were focused because they were already hung when I arrived this year and never took the time to take note of it (HUGE MISTAKE!). So once I replaced the lamps and the gels it was time to hang them back up on the electric, I took some guesses but every scenario I tried gave me a miserable cyc wash.
So my question is, how do I orient and focus(these are the ones with the pivoting reflector) the cycs to give me the best possible wash? The cycs are abour 5 feet from the cyc itself.
Any suggestions welcome!!!
