Motherlode- when you say 'it's been proven time and time again that light movers don't work'- can you cite any references? The problem with getting a fair hearing for new technology is often twofold; one, the assumption that it must be wrong because someone told you- remember not so long ago 'everyone knew' the Earth was flat!- and two, the tech improves over early iterations, but the bad old reputation still follows it around.
It's funny that you actually concede one of the light mover's best points inadvertently, that spreading light around via multiple 600 watt hoods is better than one stationary 1000 watt light. A light mover does that for you, with fewer bulbs and less expense-
There are important differences between my system and those which have come before:
1. the old systems rotated or moved too slowly- mine makes a full revolution in less than three minutes
2. the old systems didn't take lowering the light into account, because you couldn't- they moved too slowly!
3. the old systems did not account for purpose built reflectors or canopy edge reflective treatments- or worse, assumed that what was best for stationary setups was best for moving fixtures, too
4. No one to my knowlege has done much, if any investigation into how one could set up a light mover poorly, get bad results and then badmouth the whole tech, thereby setting a false precedent.
