Similar to what has been said, if the ceiling had "structural beams" you could hide small low profile lights behind them.

Step one: Make a new will because Rach is going to kill you.No need for other advice.

You beat me to it! Yeah we found out in Indiana it doesn't matter how many guy wires you have if the ballast isn't set up correctly.

We're up to 9 dead and 121 injured now.Here's the latest story.

There was another bad disaster tonight. At least 4 dead, 50 injured, and rumors that there are still people trapped. High winds blew over an outdoor stage in a way that looks spookily similar to the Indiana State Fair collapse. So sad. Everybody stay safe out there!

I don't own one, but my impression from the trade show booth demos is that the Chauvet Cyc1 is definitely best used either for a top and bottom configuration or for situations with a fairly short cyc. It's similar to the ETC Colorsource Cyc in terms of size, but the Chauvet is a lot lower...

@Matthew Peters bonus points to you from the CB staff. This is exactly how we like people who represent companies to act on CB. You answered the question, solved the OP's problem, provided information that could be used to purchase, and offered in a very low key way to sell them the part...
