Selecon Asymetric floods: (2 of)

Not old! - still incredibly popular as of 01/10
Asymetric! not even spread of light. spread gets better, the further they are from the wall. Remember, big side at bottom.
Use to light back walls evenly, rather than a large "splodge" of light at the top, and not much at the bottom.
The above makes them very useful when doing Chroma_key work.
