Gobo Size Guide and Fixture Compatibility Chart
Choosing the correct gobo size is critical for clean projection, sharp focus and safe operation of your lighting fixture. This page is a practical gobo size chart for lighting designers, theatres, venues, hire companies and AV technicians across Australia & New Zealand.
Use this guide to match your fixture (for example, ETC Source Four, Selecon Pacific, Chauvet Intimidator Spot 475ZX, Chauvet Gobo Zoom 2, Ljusdesign Neo Framer, Showtec Performer Profile 150 Q6, Robe ColourSpot, Martin MAC, etc.) to the correct gobo diameter and image area, and then order a Rosco custom gobo cut precisely to size from Creative Film & Theatre Solutions (CFATS).
CFATS supplies Rosco steel and glass custom gobos to fit virtually any spotlight, moving head or gobo projector. As the exclusive Rosco agent for Australia & New Zealand, we can match almost any gobo holder or wheel.

How to use this gobo size chart
- Find your fixture brand and model. Scroll to the brand section (for example, Chauvet, ETC, Selecon, Martin, Robe, Showtec, Neo Framer) and locate your specific model.
- Note the outside diameter and image area. The Outside Diameter is the physical size of the gobo blank (glass or steel). The Max Image Area is the largest usable image that will project cleanly.
- Choose material: Rosco steel or glass gobo. Use steel gobos for simple breakups and patterns; use glass gobos for logos, multi-colour artwork, gradients or photographic detail.
- Order your Rosco custom gobo from CFATS. Once you know the size, you can order directly online at cfats.com.au – Rosco Custom Gobo or email sales@cfats.com.au with your artwork and fixture details.
