Rosco Image Spot.

A framing projector built for architecture — it places a logo, pattern, texture, message or image precisely onto a wall, floor or façade, sharp-edged and keystone-corrected, from a fixture you can conceal. Light that carries content, exactly where the design needs it.

What it is

A projector that writes on architecture

The Image Spot is a precise optical framing projector. It takes a glass or steel gobo — your artwork — and projects it with a crisp, controllable edge, correcting keystone so the image sits square on the surface even when the fixture is mounted at an oblique, concealed angle.

That precision is what separates it from a simple wash or a floodlight. It lights a specific element, holds a hard edge on a defined area, and places an exact image where you want it. Static where a screen would be overkill, reconfigurable where signage would be permanent.

How it works

Precision, from a hidden fixture

Sharp & keystone-corrected

Optical framing holds a crisp edge and squares the image to the surface, even from a steep, concealed angle.

Any artwork, via a gobo

Logos, patterns, textures, messages and photographic detail become a custom glass or steel gobo.

Concealed & reconfigurable

A discreet fixture that hides and re-aims — change the image without touching the architecture.

Reference project

A Gothic façade, picked out in light

At Plaza del Conde in Ciudad Rodrigo, six Image Spots with custom gobos detail a Gothic-Plateresque palace — lighting the cornice, tracery and arches rather than the flat wall between them.

Warm, restrained and dark-sky respectful, mounted discreetly across the square: architecture revealed, not floodlit.

Specifying it

What we confirm with you

CFATS prepares the artwork and confirms the geometry — and can test the projection before you specify.

Gobo type & artwork

Glass gobos carry tone and full colour; steel suits bold shapes. We advise on the medium for your image.

Throw, size & lens

Image size follows throw distance and lens; we calculate the geometry to fill the surface precisely.

Mounting & keystone

Oblique, concealed positions are usual; framing and keystone correction keep the image square.

Output & ambient

Legibility depends on contrast with surrounding light; we confirm the output the setting needs.

Have an image to place?

Send us the artwork and the surface, and we’ll prepare the gobo, test the projection, and specify it for supply in Australia.
