Gobo rotators

Bring the light to life

A gobo rotator sits in the gate of a profile (ellipsoidal) spotlight and turns one or two gobos at a controlled speed. Static gobos give you a pattern; a rotator gives you movement — the difference between a painted flame and a fire that flickers, or a still ripple and water that actually flows. Layer two gobos turning in opposite directions and you get organic, never-repeating texture.

The Rosco range

Three rotators — pick by control

All three drop into the gobo slot of a profile spotlight and use standard B-size gobos. The difference is how you drive them: a simple continuous loop, a set-and-forget dual, or full programmable DMX.

Rotator compatibility

Which projectors do rotators fit?

All three Rosco rotators are B-size units that mount in the gobo / accessory slot of a profile (ellipsoidal) spotlight — the same slot a B-size gobo holder uses. If your fixture takes a B-size gobo, it takes the rotator.

Not sure your fixture has room for a rotator, or running a moving head? Send us the make and model — we’ll confirm the fit.

Holder finder

Which gobo holder do I need?

Pick your fixture and we’ll show the exact Rosco holder (or holders) that fit it — with the gobo size and a buy link. If your light carries gobos in its own wheel, we’ll tell you that too.

Can’t see your exact fixture? We can match a holder for almost any profile or supply a custom gobo cut to any size — tell us your make & model. See the full gobo size & fixture chart →
