Saw another article about the holographic diffusers and beam shapers, and I thought I'd bring it up again. These have existed since the early 1990's and can do a wonderful job of even hiding gross defects, and can help to give you exactly the beamshots a person wants.
"For many years the lighting industry has used mirrors and lenses as its traditional tools for creating directional beams, together with simple diffusing materials where a uniform spread of light is required. However, the efficiency of many optical control components can be quite poor, and new technology has emerged to revolutionize the way in which light is shaped and directed. "
Two leading suppliers are Wavefront Technologies and Physical Optics Corporation.
