Map the movement envelope of the work—its full range of motion and orientation. Position minimum 4 fixtures at 90° intervals around the envelope, more for larger or more complex movements. Balance output equally across all fixtures. Use broad beam angles to ensure overlap. Avoid direct sightlines from below where fixture glare might occur. Consider theatrical moving lights for works with very large movement ranges. For predictable movement patterns, programming may allow synchronized dimming. Ceiling as a reflective surface can provide additional fill.
