Hi Shane, I’d be interested to know how/if you’d do this differently now with LED (RGB) technology? What fixtures you’d use e.g.

@luke What I love about this Trash Can light is the ability for it to project light from a distance, like being able to have it out of the frame and it has the hard light feel that a fire has. With LED technology you would have to go with some LED Par lights and Small LED Fresnel fixtures so that you could get the necessary output to keep it out of frame. Remember most LED fixtures are not hard lights they are more of a wide source then a pin source.
