Normally in stock, more are on the way and should arrive within 2 - 3 weeks.
The projected image will be the white area within the circle above, the black area is blocked out.
Color can be changed using gels or LEDs, but multi-color effects must be part of the gobo design.
Apollo patterns are available in several formats to meet a range of uses:
- Metal 100+ hours¹ — Most common option, laser cut from 8 mil stainless steel.
- Aluminum (varies) — Better heat dissipation than metal, laser cut from 16 mil aluminum.
- PrintScenic Plastic 70-80 hours¹ — LED-only, printed on plastic.
- PrintScenic Glass 300-400 hours¹ — LED-only, printed on glass.
- B&W Glass 400+ hours¹ — Laser-etched on glass.
- ¹ Longevity is affected by many factors. Hours are not guaranteed.
Gobos are like stencils for profile (ERS-style) lighting fixtures, allowing light to shine through certain areas and project a pattern. The color of the projected image can be changed by adding a sheet of lighting gel, or by changing colors on most LED fixtures. By adding a donut (color frame with smaller hole) you can increase the contrast and clarity of the projected image. Full-size Source Four fixtures also offer EDLT and XDLT lens tube options designed for the highest quality gobo projection.
The size of a projected gobo image depends on the beam angle of your fixture, a larger beam angle will increase the gobo size diameter, however the resulting image will appear dimmer (with same fixture, since the light is spread over a larger area). Gobos come in many different sizes for a range of fixtures, the table below gives a summary of the most common sizes that we list online. Not sure what size to order? Just make a note of your fixture make/model and we'll make sure the gobo gets sized correctly².
- ² Not all patterns can be made in steel sizes under 86mm (B size). This is usually due to intricate/detailed artwork, but certain fixtures also require the use of glass gobos.
