Can you make a replacement gobo from an existing sample?
Yes, depending on the sample and fixture requirements. Send photos, dimensions if available and the fixture model.
Replacement Gobos
A replacement gobo is a custom gobo made to replace a damaged, worn or lost disc, or to match an existing gobo for a specific lighting fixture. The correct size still depends on the fixture and holder.
What replacement gobos cover
Replacement gobos are used when an existing disc is damaged, worn or lost, or to match an existing gobo for a specific fixture. A replacement still has to fit the holder.
- Replacing damaged gobos
- Replacing worn or lost gobos
- Matching an existing gobo
- Replacement for a specific fixture
- Custom reproduction from an existing sample, where the sample and fixture allow it
What information is needed
- Fixture make and model
- Existing gobo photo, if available
- Holder photo, if available
- Gobo dimensions if known (OD, ID or image area, thickness)
- Artwork, if available
- Quantity
If the size is unknown, send the fixture model plus a photo of the existing gobo or holder. See gobo compatibility and the gobo size guide.
How to order
Send the fixture model, quantity and any photos or artwork for a specification check and quote. Do not assume a catalogue size will fit.
FAQ
Do I need the original artwork?
Artwork helps. If the original file is missing, a clear photo of the existing gobo can be used to review whether a replacement is possible.
Have artwork and a fixture model?
Send the fixture model, artwork and quantity. We will help confirm the gobo specification and provide a quote.
