How to use GoboTopPlus effectively Ambient light conditions The best and most brilliant image projections can be achieved in darkness or low ambient light. Daylight or direct sunlight are much brighter than artificial lighting and will outshine any projected image. Avoid directing spotlights or lamps at the projection surface for optimal results.
Image sizes at increasing distances As a rule, image size increases with distance, whereas contrast and brightness decrease. In normal ambient light, GoboTopPlus displays images over short projection distances, from 0.5–1.5 meter. Greater projection distances can be achieved in low ambient light or darkness. Image size can only be adjusted by varying the distance between projector and projection surface.
