Gobos are a piece of flat steel or glass, which when placed in a lighting fixture projects the image that is on the gobo. The word gobo is an acronym for the phrase “Goes Before Optics.”

Gobos can be used for multiple projects; for example they can project breakup patterns to create texture on walls or even project your company logo. Most gobos are made of steel.

Gobos are used in a variety of stage lighting fixtures for projecting images in theatrical, entertainment and dance applications, and for Special Events, such as weddings and birthdays, and can also include corporate logos for advertising.

The “gobo” or template (Stencil) is placed in “the gate” of the spotlight or at the “point of focus” between the light source and the focal lenses, thus placement is important because it allows a pattern with crisp, sharp edges to be projected.

Gobos are usually used with a gobo holder, which can vary from just a plain paddle-style holder that is designed to be inserted into the light fixture’s beam path through a slot in the barrel, to a sophisticated computer-controlled holder that can rotate multple gobos through a program using multiple-color changing lights.

There are specific lighting instruments that can accept gobos. The most common is an ellipsoidal, which are lighting instruments that allow you to focus the light and gobo by moving the lens back and forth in the lens tube.
