Fw: Inspiration required - 'cinema' lighting

Surely, if I have a wall light almost directly underneath the
projector,
that won't affect the light to the screen surely as the light beams from
both sources will cross without any problems.

I took out some of the downlights that were near the screen a few years
back as they affected the picture, but that was the reflective destination
of the projector

I'm right, right ? :-)


Now you see you're changing the "spec" after the original task
had been
put
out to tender ... there was no mention of "aesthetically
pleasing" in your
original RFQ... :-D
