Does anyone have recommendations for cyc lights that can produce somewhat even coverage despite being hung quite close to the cyc?
The cyc I'm attempting to light is not actually a cyc, but rather a wall with a painted background on it (this is in a museum, where my job is to repair things). Because of the configuration of the space, the fixtures can only hang, at most, four feet back from the wall (it's twelve feet high, and a ground row is not possible here).
There are in place now some rather ancient 3-cell Strand Codas (500W) which mostly do not work, but I suspect that they never really did the job, as they seem too widely (and unevenly) spaced to me. But, it does seem like the concept could work, if there were more fixtures, so the Coda II is one of the possibilities I'm looking at. It's an odd, asymmetrical space, so a perfectly even wash is not essential, but we do need to be able to do color changes across the whole wall without having obvious lines and dark spots.
Thanks!
