the tiny fixtures with MR-16 bulbs, which tend to create the "spot" effect you want to avoid. If you emphasize the effects you want and don't want, you can get good advice. Getting excellent lighting is a wonderful thing, but this is not an easy subject to tackle. --Barbara
Additionally the MR-16 bulbs require a separate 12 volt supply, usually built into the lighting head for track light versions. Those supplies add a lot of additional things that go wrong.
Even though most MR-16 bulbs you can buy at the home supply stores are rather spotty, you can get ones that are more on the flood side, but it's usually special order. FWIW I believe Solux offers MR-16's.
There is a MR-16 variation called GU-10, about the same size but with a bayonet locking system and they run on household 110V instead of 12 volts. The home supply chains around here only carry the flood versions. The big downside is that for whatever reason they are overly rich in the green part of the spectrum and will make your prints look positively strange. Avoid them at whatever cost. Also, all those little bulbs have dichroic reflectors which tend to throw a rainbow pattern around the edge of the light cone. And the funny, ripply light cones you get from MR-16 and GU-10 are inferior, you need a larger bulb to get a nice smooth wash across the field.
My favorite lights are PAR35 Halogen bulbs. They are much larger than the teensy bulbs and have a standard household screw-in base. They are small enough to fit into track lighting fixtures designed for larger bulbs so you can get lots of airflow inside the cans and much better bulb life than say with a PAR50 or PAR75 squeezed into the typical too-small fixture can. The extra reflector size seems to minimize the dichroic rainbow. They come in 12, 24, and 36 degree wide versions so you can easily field lights at different distances. If you can get enough distance, a 35 watt, 12 degree spot will put a surprising amount of light on the art, and not so much on the wall. If you're running a gallery, the light bill is a Big Thing, so let's not throw photons away lighting the darned walls. And as many (but not all) gallery owners know, dramatically spotted artwork sells.
