Professional Pattern Projector Instructions
Changing the Bulb
Grasp large plastic thumb knob on top of unit, turn counter-clockwise and remove. Be careful not to lose the plastic washer.
Remove the rear bulb housing by grasping the rear handle and gently sliding out.
Place the bulb into the unit, aligning the two pins with the base. Be very careful not to touch the glass with your bare hands. You may want to wrap the bulb in paper during installation. Oils from your fingers can cause the bulb to explode when activated. If you accidentily touch the bulb, clean it with WD40 and allow to dry completely before plugging unit in.
After bulb is securely in unit, replace housing and large thumbscrew.
Using the gobo (pattern)
Place the gobo in the gobo holder and slide it into the slot on the top of the unit where the framing shutters are located.
Gobo holder should slide gently into place. Do not force. Let unit completely cool before removing gobo holder, as a heated gobo can expand and "lock" into place. Yanking on the gobo holder can damage the gobo.
We can make a custom gobo for you for $99, or you can choose from any of our existing patterns for $15 each.
Gobos by themselves will typically project a black and white image. You can add color to the image by adding color gel to the front of your pattern projector, or by ordering a colored glass gobo.
You can send in your own artwork to create your own corporate image if you so desire. The results are astounding and typically "light up" a darkened room.
Sometimes, one may want to project an image in a brightly lit meeting hall or outside where it is sunny. This is almost impossible to do because of the competing brightness. For best results, project your image in a darkened area.
When projected from a distance, you can make your image quite large. An entire ballroom or tent ceiling can be covered with images using just a few of our pattern projectors placed in optimal locations. Remember that when projecting at an angle, there may be some distortion of the image, but when using easily recognized images, such as stars, flowers or tree branches, an entire large area can be covered with surprisingly good effect!
