We sent this thing back a week ago, but did anybody else use this "$1,000" spotlight featuring the Tomb Raider Logo in their lobbies?
We have a large, vaulted lobby, so we had the room, but what about other places? Where are you seriously going to put this thing in a 10 foot high looby of a mall theater?
Who else used this and how did you use it?p.s.- it's technically not a spotlight either, just a scene light with a fixed Tomb Raider gobo inside... (there's my stage production know-how!)

I hope that after I die, people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money!"

The one they sent us is still sitting in the company office since it shipped to us with a broken bulb. By the time we got the replacement bulb, 'Raider' had already opened and flopped.According to our promotions guy, the gobo is removeable and can be replaced with a new gobo for the Paramount film du jour in the future, if you decide to shell out the $1K to keep the thing.

Interesting...
The memo said that it had to be returned by 7/15, or the fee would be billed to your account, did you send it back?

We also used the Tomb Raider spotlight, and we had problems getting it close enough to the wall so that the projected image would fit. The thing was huge! Our lobby is not small by any means so I do not see how it would have been possible to use this "spotlight" in any smaller theater.

We used one. It worked out pretty well for us- the ceiling in our lobby was high enough so that we could fasten it to the ceiling and project (pun intended) the logo on the floor. It looked pretty cool. I guess we sent it back- I haven't seen it around.Taplie

I asked about this awhile ago but received no responses. Ours too was
shipped with a broken bulb. Then, when an usher decided to set it up wayyy up top, he blew the bulb out by not tightening it to the stand, and it dropped about 180 degrees. I set it up so it shone down about 15 feet onto the floor of our lobby as people walked in, they enjoyed it, but for godsakes the dumb people could not realized where the light was coming from!
