Ken,

My background is in theatre lighting as well. When I had the opportunity
to light 2 different exhibits in our galleries, I chose the Micro
Ellipse for its size and features, especially the ability to sharply cut
the beam and to use gobos. One gallery has been open for 4 years with no
problems, the other only a couple of months.

I recommend the units.
