I am going to hang my back drops from the ceiling. My question is i have two energy efficient light bulbs. The only light source other than my strobes. They are right where i want to mount my backdrops. Should I mount the infront or behind the bulbs. Will they cause any issues in either position.. Any help would be great.

That is what I would do. They would do no good behind is what I am thinking. Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.
