Lighting Question
« on: February 11, 2011, 04:35:15 pm »
My cab is 30" wide, should i go with a 1 foot or 2 foot flourecent? Will I get shadows if I use a 12" and will 24" be overkill? Thanks

Can't believe no one replied yet.



24" cab, i believe an 18" fluorescent tube. A 24" would probably not be too overkill for you.

Play around with how far back you mount the tube, to see how well it floods your marquee.
