I've always been a large proponent of tophats on all lights for aesthetic reasons, both the way the fixture looks with it on and so you can't see the gel flutter when the AC may happen to hit it.
This has become a bit of an obsession, loving the way lighting setups look from the audience (and sometimes paying more attention to that than the show). But I'm worried since I use them so often, I'm using them in the wrong way, not using half hats when that is more applicable, using hats on par sidelights when maybe I should be using barndoors (which I hate because they look bulky) etc.
Thoughts?
