> How to choose a gobo projector?
> There are 4 criteria to take into account for a bright and visible projection:
- the projection distance,
- the ambient light,
- the color of the floor,
- the color of the projection.
1. The projection distance:
The projection distance is calculated between the place of installation of the projector and the projection surface.
2. Ambient light :
If you are projecting at night on a non-lit surface (or with classic street lighting) no problem with all our products. On the other hand, for daytime indoor projection (daytime outdoor projection is not possible) or nighttime outdoor projection with a lighted surface, you must choose an adapted logo projector. It is also not possible to project qualitatively on an area lit by outdoor/sunlight indoors.
3. The color of the floor:
A dark floor "absorbs" the brightness of the logo projector. In case of projection on a dark floor indoors during the day, it will be necessary to take a sufficiently bright product. On the other hand, a clear projection surface maximizes the luminous rendering and the visibility of the projection of a luminous logo for example. A dark floor at night is less problematic with bright colors (white, yellow, etc.).
4. The color of the projected logo/visual:
White projections are the brightest and therefore the most visible. They are also the most economical glass gobo prints. Dark colors (navy blue, purple, red, brown, etc.) are less bright and therefore less visible.
If your logo has these colors, we advise you to take a product that is adapted to your projection distance on the dark floor. As a general rule, this is the next reference of the ideal product in relation to your distance on a light surface.
> Recommended projection distances by type of installation (best selling models) :
| Models | Night | Lighting soft | Lighting intense | Dark floor indoor* | > Link to the product sheet : |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 5-10 | 3 meters | 2 meters | 2 meters | |
 | 10-15 | 4 meters | 3 meters | 3 meters | |
 | 20 | 6 meters | 4 meters | 4 meters | |
 | 30 | 8 meters | 6 meters | 6 meters |
* in the case of visuals with dark colors (red, black, etc.).
