A few basic Gobo Terms from GoboMan.com to make your life easier. Part 1






















1. GOBO-a gobo is just the template with the design,






not the whole fixture and everything. Gobos are either stock, or custom, and can be made into glass or steel. If you have questions about glass or steel gobos see earlier GoboMan posts.
2.Gobo Projector, Gobo Lights, Lekos, Not all lights take gobos! They must have the ellipsed lenses in order to be able to focus on a gobo,otherwise you just get a blob of light.
3. Gobo Sizes & Gobo Holders-each fixture not only takes it’s pwn unique gobo size, but each has their own gobo holder.
4. Will my Gobo be in color? Steel Gobos project white light unless you add a color gel filter. If using gels on stel Gobos, you will be coloring the entire design and not be able to control the color on any particular section. If you want multiple colors in your Gobo design, then you want to look at glass gobos.
