There are no silly questions

I have sold quite a few Showtec 4 unit floods as they work in small venues with short throws, they are useful in schools as you can easily get a 4 colour wash without spending a lot of time carefully crossing fresnels, years ago theatre lights were very expensive so were only used for specials and crosslight with "x rays" giving the basic wash, and it's still a valid way to light on a budget.A basic function of lighting is to illuminate the actors and "artistic" lighting can sometimes fail this basic task.I think I'd better quit while I'm ahead.
