Forgive me if I have posted this before. Old and getting CRS. I have a cross that I want to illuminate that is appx 125' from from fixture location. It is appx 25' tall with the cross arm appx 6' accross. Planning to use 2 Chauvet OVATION E-260WW fixtures. I used an old formula I had and came up...
