Pierce Events provides custom lighting design to transform any space.
Gobo & Monogram Lighting
A gobo or monogram light is a great way to impact and transform any space. Great for weddings or corporate events. Just about any design can be projected indoors or out.
What is a Gobo?
Gobo stands for "GOes Before Optics", it's a template that fits onto a special light that projects a design onto a wall, dance floor, ceiling, or just about anywhere else you can think of. Monogram lighting, name in lights, wedding lighting are all terms that have been used to describe gobos and what they are used for.
The Design
We work directly with you to incorporate your ideas into a design or take an existing design and transfer it into the format required to create a gobo. We can work with anything that you have, ideas, concepts, or scanned . .
Once we have a design we convert it into the proper format required to create a metal or glass gobo.
Gobo Materials
Metal gobo's literally cut the design through a thin piece of metal where the cut out portions allow light project through. Metal gobos are the cheapest to make but are limiting in the quality of many designs. Iin letters like (A,O,R,P,Q,B,4,6,8,9). If you were to cut these out into a piece of metal you would not be able to see the letter correctly because there would be nothing to hold the metal in place to form the space in that particular letter.
Glass gobos are the answer to this problem but are a little more expensive. With these gobos the design is printed onto a piece of high temperature glass using the same finish as you would find in a mirror. This allows for clean, elegant designs and for a much better finished projection. Glass gobos come in either black and white, grayscale or colored.
The best part is that the design can not only be used for the light, but for invitations, programs, cake toppers, cake designs, and to repeat through the wedding design.
Can I Just Use a Media Projector?
You could use a media projector for your design used with a computer but it won't look that good for a few reasons. A regular multimedia projector doesn't look professional. Projectors do not have a true "black", even black areas of the projection use light. This appears as a gray box surrounding wherever you project your monogram. Many projectors work well in a super dar room but are not bright enough to cut through the lighting in most rooms to adequately see the design. Our lights are specifically tuned to focus and project the clearest image possible without any bleed of extraneous light.
