Metal Gobos

The design of a metal gobo is laser cut out of stainless steel allowing light to shine through and project a white pattern on the surface. A color filter can be added to the fixture if color is desired.

Metal gobos require "bridging" which are very small lines that connect the internal structure of letters and designs. If bridging is not added, enclosed areas, such as the inside of the the letter 'O', would fall out.

Note: Some metal patterns may be created in black and white to avoid any bridging concerns. Please contact your dealer regarding any questions you may have for your specific order. 

Apollo metal gobos are made from 8 mil stainless steel with a high level of nickel and chromium. This type of steel produces a very durable gobo with fine detail image and a long life.

Competitor's gobos are made from 5 mil stainless steel with a high level of carbon. The carbon begins to oxidize (rust) and breakdown faster than a gobo made from steel with nickel and chromium.

Check it out! A magnet requires carbon steel to stick. A magnet will not stick to an Apollo gobo. However, since competitor's use carbon steel to make their gobos, it'll stick.

Metal gobos from our collection typically ship within 24 hours, depending upon quantity and production workload.

If you need a gobo sooner, please contact your authorized dealer or our customer service team and we will make every attempt to meet your deadline.

In order to ensure the highest quality, some patterns cannot be produced in a particular size or substrate.
