An LED gobo projector is perfect for your festive message to put it in the spotlight – even when it is dark. Whether you want to project Santa Claus, snow, hearts on Valentine's Day or an Easter Bunny on Easter, everything is possible with gobo projection. Distribution offers both indoor and outdoor gobo projectors.

A gobo is a glass plate (similar to the slide in a slide projector) that is fully customizable to your wishes. For example, place your company name under a Santa Claus, or your company logo next to a series of hearts. Or go for a warm message: '[Your company] wishes you happy holidays!'

LED gobo projectors are often used by companies and municipalities for outdoor light projection, illuminated advertising on the facade, signage, warnings and smaller light projections at the entrance on the floor.

Are the holidays over again? Then you can easily replace the gobo with another visual. Think of your company logo, your slogan, a catchy visual or a welcome message.
