What is Gobo Lighting? Gobo lighting is a great way to add texture and depth with lighting. Small metal discs are inserted into the lighting fixture, between the optics, which can be focused sharply to reveal the gobo design. Or softly, to give a fuzzy texture. There are thousands of stock gobo designs. If you can’t find what you are looking for, you can always provide custom artwork, or we can design something for you. You can project both black & white or color. Color options are more expensive as they are produced on glass in order to achieve color.
