JOHN FARR Lighting Design is a dealer for Apollo Custom Design Technology, Inc. and uses Apollo for standard, custom, metal and glass patterns. Apollo has consistently proven their expertise and creativity when it comes to processing orders. They offer competitive pricing and reliable prompt service.

Basic Information: Gobos are thin plates of metal with a design cut out of it's surface. The metal plate is inserted into a slot in the lighting fixture. These patterns are used to project designs to enhance the theme of an event. For example, a business grand opening may include a gobo of the company name and / or logo. Patterns can be projected onto a wall, floor, ceiling, building exterior, door or screen. 

Events that often include gobos are Corporate meetings, Concerts, Weddings, Bat or Bar mitzvahs, church programs, graduations, school plays or presentations, Holiday parties.

Room transformation is a feature that can be attained by projecting several patterns at once. For example, if a rain forest effect is desired, several individual fixtures could be set up in a room, each containing foliage, tree, leaf, or other patterns, projecting on all surrounding walls or even ceiling and floor. The end result is quite effective.
