I've recently updated my lighting kit to include 600Ws TTL enabled monolights. They are the Godox AD600TTL battery powered lights.

HERE (external link) is a page I added describing a test I did at a Garfield Park Conservatory wedding reception. The AD600 lights delivered as expected.

My site also has several other pages where I've summarized my testing and early use of the new kit for other than weddings.

Correct me if I am wrong but it appears all four lights are pointed towards the center?

Have you thought about bouncing 2 of the lights off the grey/silver ceiling, and keep 2 lights pointing directly to the center?

They are all pointed toward the center. The "grey/silver ceiling is glass. Its a wing of the conservatory and glass from about waist height up.

Even in a closed room, given these lights I'm inclined to use them direct. The Hub Cap reflectors send the light out in a hemisphere so a lot is going to be bouncing off walls and ceilings anyway. Its kind of like the pull up white tab on a speedlite when pointed up toward the ceiling. :-)
