Gobos and Holders

Gobos produce patterns or scenic elements on a set. They can be made from stainless steel or glass, but they can only be used in profile type spotlights. They are available in many standard patterns and in sizes to suit most manufacturers’ luminaires. Showlite only has the stainless steel variety available for hire. If you would like to use them please ask for a copy of our gobo list.

Gobos can also be custom-made from your own artwork, although this can involve significant extra expense. Please call us for further details further details of this service.

The gobo sizes listed below are those recommended by each manufacturer to allow resolution of the whole image, other sizes may be possible if the whole image is not needed. The holder numbers are for use with stainless steel gobos in most of the commonly used luminaires. If you wish to use a glass gobo you should check that your intended luminaire is suitable before ordering either the gobo or the holder. Holders with numbers beginning GH are supplied by DHA/Rosco, all others are manufacturer specific.
