I assume you are talking about flat mirror and a barrel mirror?
Send a link to an example...

Yep, take a look at the picture on link 2 and 3
link 2 the light shows multiple beams per fixture
link 3 shows 4 fixtures with one image projection

The barrel splits the output so there could be 10-15 smaller images going everywhere, while the flat would be 1 targetable image

I have a barrel... And I hate it...
It look's kind of cheap..... I like the mirror's, Where they can go all around the room... Look's so much more Pro-ish. :smash:

Barrel mirrored lights tend to look a lot dimmer than their flat-mirror equivalents mainly because your splitting the light up.
