Protee Lighting Simplified

[TeeDeck]

In my first booth the light above the protee sensor mat from the stance mat to the diffuser the height measurement is 122". The light in front of the putting protee sensor is 120".
I have a slightly slanted roof so they are just mounted to the trusses using standard electrical octagon boxes, no cans.

From the back protee halogen lights led is 26" to centre and the front led to the front protee halogen is 48"

Both booths are pretty close measurements for the secondary led light.

Obviously, I cannot guarantee that it will work in your setup or anyone else's. As stated earlier when I first built my sim booths when those secondary lights were on there were many misreads. Could have been many factors that caused it not to work.

I am not sure why all of a sudden one day the systems decided that it didn't matter that the secondary lighting was on. My first few seasons of operation my customers played in the dark very little light was on other than the halogens.

In my first booth the light above the protee sensor mat from the stance mat to the diffuser the height measurement is 122". The light in front of the putting protee sensor is 120".I have a slightly slanted roof so they are just mounted to the trusses using standard electrical octagon boxes, no cans.

Perfect 10' to 10'2" height to the bulb.

From the back protee halogen lights led is 26" to centre and the front led to the front protee halogen is 48"

So FROM BACK it is:

BACK LED(Secondary Light) -- 26"--- BACK PROTEE HALOGEN (Spot light) --- FRONT PROTEE HALOGEN (Spot Light) ---48"--FRONT LED(Secondary Light)

AND, are the Secondary Lights directly in line with the PROTEE Halogen Spots (front to back)? I think you said they were all mounted to trusses, but I don't know if your trusses run front->back, or side->side.

Obviously, I cannot guarantee that it will work in your setup or anyone else's. As stated earlier when I first built my sim booths when those secondary lights were on there were many misreads. Could have been many factors that caused it not to work.

I'm not expecting you to guarantee it - I'm just looking for a Secondary Lighting Idea I can try, to see if it works and go from there.When I have only ProTee Halogen Spots on, it's pretty dark in rest of the space and I only have 16'x12' of space. So, I'm hoping that if I can light back behind the ProTee Hitting Spot, I have 6' to back wall, and currently have lighting there at about 5', just above where the hitting mat is positioned (ProTee hitting mat, but not setup/configured to run ProTee yet, I will soon).

Sometimes I run the Halogen Spots for ADDITIONAL light in the space, directly over the hitting area, and the Putting mat (up front). But, I would prefer if I had Secondary Lighting LEDs that could stay on all the time when ProTee system is being run to provide additional light - like you have done... That environment (ProTee spots) without the additional lighting - is quite dark.

Thank you,

In both booths the roof trusses run parallel to the screen. The secondary lighting is as close to inline as I could get them (some X bracing conflicts a little). My booths are both approx 12' 6" wide and a total depth of 20'. The tee spot on the Protee mat is close to 11' to the screen in both booths also.

I got it TeeDeck - thank you for final measurements... you've got quite a lot more room there with 20' depth, I have 15'4". Also, I'm looking at making custom Snoots that should do the job just fine... from what I can tell.
