Apollo ME-9166 - Saturday
We don't normally stock this item, but can typically get it to you within 2 - 3 weeks.
The projected image will be the white area within the circle above, the black area is blocked out.
Color can be changed using gels or LEDs, but multi-color effects must be part of the gobo design.
When using a single day of week gobo we recommend having the text Fill the Image Area for maximum projection size. When multiple days will be displayed, having the text Held to Size will help the final projected image for all gobos remain similiar.
Apollo patterns are available in several formats to meet a range of uses:
- Metal 100+ hours¹ — Most common option, laser cut from 8 mil stainless steel.
- Aluminum (varies) — Better heat dissipation than metal, laser cut from 16 mil aluminum.
- PrintScenic Plastic 70-80 hours¹ — LED-only, printed on plastic.
- PrintScenic Glass 300-400 hours¹ — LED-only, printed on glass.
- B&W Glass 400+ hours¹ — Laser-etched on glass.
- ¹ Longevity is affected by many factors. Hours are not guaranteed.
Gobos are like stencils for profile (ERS-style) lighting fixtures, allowing light to shine through certain areas and project a pattern. The color of the projected image can be changed by adding a sheet of lighting gel, or by changing colors on most LED fixtures. By adding a donut (color frame with smaller hole) you can increase the contrast and clarity of the projected image. Full-size Source Four fixtures also offer EDLT and XDLT lens tube options designed for the highest quality gobo projection.
The size of a projected gobo image depends on the beam angle of your fixture, a larger beam angle will increase the gobo size diameter, however the resulting image will appear dimmer (with same fixture, since the light is spread over a larger area). Gobos come in many different sizes for a range of fixtures, the table below gives a summary of the most common sizes that we list online. Not sure what size to order? Just make a note of your fixture make/model and we'll make sure the gobo gets sized correctly².
- ² Not all patterns can be made in steel sizes under 86mm (B size). This is usually due to intricate/detailed artwork, but certain fixtures also require the use of glass gobos.
