I am trying to light a pice of artwork that consists of a series of clear lexan boxes which contain mounted butterflies. There are 14 boxes arranged edge to edge so that the butterfiles appear to be flying in a swarm. The problem arises with reflection of of the boxes. I need to illuminate the artwork from a severe angle from approx. 10'. I require the beam to be as focused as possible. I have tried mr16 low voltage bulbs in a variety of fixtures. Someone suggested an elongation lense for the mr16 as a solution. What does work is to extend the fixture so that the bulb is recessed approx 4" from the edge. Any thoughts you might have would be greatly appreciated.

The beam elongator and other MR16 LENSES are great at changing the shape and quality of the light on the wall.  I can't help you with the reflection issues.  I would buy one of each of the MR16 lenses and give them a try.  Start with the beam elenogator and soft focus lenses first.  You might also buy a hex cell louver to prevent glare from the light source.
