The difference between Gobo projectos sometimes is more about what you are going to be using them for.
If you are having a one time event, and want to use gobos, it makes no sense to pay $400.00 or more on a Gobo fixture. There are units like the GoboMan 75 wtt and the GoboMan 100 watt unit that cost less than $100.00. But keep in mind you get what you pay for. Don't expect to blast a gobo design a bright fromm from 40 feet, or run it in your office or store day in and day out. The units like the ETC Source Four fixtures, are just one of the many fixtures on the market that will give you years of use and take a beating while still giving fantastic gobo projection. These units use a 575 or 750 watt lamp and can project at many distances depending on the degree lens and the size image you are looking to achive. The profesional type fixtures come in many sizes, but don't try to take a inexpensive fixture and try to make it do something it's not designed to do. The difference can be summed up in this example, the ETC Source Four which is made of steel and weighs over 20 lbs is a fixture that is designed for the rigors of the tough theatrical market but once you start looking up you will be amazed where you see ETC Source Fours. Then there is te GoboMan 75 watt fixture for $89.00 which is made from plastic and weighs 3lbs, but on the positive side of the GoboMan unit, at $89.00 you are up and running and have a working gobo light with gobos ready to project.So think about what your application is. Are you doing it as a just one time thing, or are you going to be offering this as a service that represents your company. Nobody wants to get the clients call on Sunday that the fixture failed.
