Abstract
A cyclorama includes a generally enclosed housing having a normally horizontal housing axis and an open front. A reflector proximate the open front has an operative portion that has a substantially uniform cross-section along the housing axis. The reflector has a surface configuration and an LED array is arranged in relation to the reflector surface to provide a higher flux density directed toward a far end of a wall or surface to be illuminated and provide a lower flux density directed toward a direction of the near end of the surface to be illuminated, generating a transition flux density between the far and near ends of the surface to be illuminated. The LED array and/or the reflector have optical features for eliminating shadows in the projected light over the entire illuminated surface.
