Gobos

Gobos are steel, brass, or glass that is cut (image placed-glass only) to a design and a light shines through it to project that design onto a wall, floor, pool, building, ect. Gobos can be used in intelligent lights also, which means it can be programmed to change colors, spin, move, strobe, ect.

Stock gobos- These are gobos that are pre-designed from many gobo companies that already have hundreds of design for special events, holidays, and other occasions, these are cheaper then custom.

 

Here is two stock gobos

Click here to go one of the gobo sites, and look at what they have in stock. This site only sells to dealers, ask your lighting company to order them.

 

Custom Gobos - Cost more but you can have your school crest/logo made up or your event name, there are many options. Stay away from glass gobos, they will cost you an arm and leg. Talk to your lighting company about cost and what can be done with the gobos.

These are custom gobos

 

Intelligent Light Gobos or lithos - Depending on what the lighting company brings in, each intelligent light that is a spot light has built in patterns. Your lighting designer may use them and add a layer to a look and may change it up later. See below for samples:
