In my school we have what we call the cove which provides lighting for the apron of our stage. We would normally use Par Cans to light the apron and they do just fine. But recently it has been suggested to me that instead of lighting the apron with par cans I should use source four Jr.'s to do the lighting because they can be shuttered to keep the light from spilling off the stage. I have never experienced a problem with light spilling off the stage with the par cans and I feel that the source fours could be better used somewhere else! (We have like a million par cans and 20 source four jr's) I would just like to know what others do with their apron lighting, if they use par cans or ellipsoidal or if it really doesn't matter. I have included a picture of the cove and a picture of the stage from the cove
