FAQ

What is glass gobo?

Glass gobos are made from transparent glass with a partial mirror coating to block the light and
produce "black" areas in the projected image. This eliminates any need for bridging, since the glass
itself is the support, and allows more intricate images to be produced. Glass gobos can also include
colored areas (much like stained glass windows), whether by multiple layers of dichroic glass (one
for each color) glued on an aluminium or chrome coated black and white gobo, or by newer
technologies that allow the thickness of the dichroic coating (and therefore the color) to be varied in
a controlled way on a single piece of glass, making it possible to turn a color photo into a glass gobo.

Why the glass gobo?

There are two types of gobos: steel and glass.
Here are numerous benets with glass gobos, one having
a long life span. One more benet of glass is that complicated images can be generated with very
excellent quality. One more advantage is glass will certainly not distort or melt when used continuou-
sly.
Notice: We recommend all gobos with image size outer diameter 37.5mm to t in glass gobo.
