Laserworld FX GOBO Wheel - DMX Effects Wheel for Laser Systems

Transform and elevate any light show with the Laserworld FX GOBO Wheel , an external accessory designed to dramatically expand the creative capabilities of your laser system. This professional add-on is a fully DMX-controlled glass effects wheel that is positioned in the projector's beam to generate dynamic and stunning visual textures and patterns. Its robust design and ease of use make it an indispensable tool for lighting designers, laser operators at events, nightclubs, and stage productions looking to add an extra dimension to their projections.

Simply place it in front of your laser projector's aperture, and the FX GOBO Wheel gives you instant access to an arsenal of visual effects. The wheel has four positions: three high-quality glass effect grids and an open position to allow the laser beam to pass through unaltered, maintaining your projector's standard functionality. It is compatible with a wide range of laser systems, including most Laserworld and Tarm models, as well as equipment from other brands.

Main Features

• Three Unique Glass Effects: The wheel includes three distinct glass effect gobos for maximum visual versatility.
  • Burst Grating: Creates an explosion or burst effect, multiplying the beam into multiple points of light that expand from a common center, ideal for visual impacts and climactic moments.
  • Line Grating: Divides the beam of light into a series of parallel lines, creating a grid or linear sweep effect perfect for light tunnels and visual architecture.
  • Lumia: Generates a soft and organic light refraction effect, similar to the ripples of water or the passage of light through smoke, providing ethereal and atmospheric textures.
• Full DMX Control: It integrates seamlessly into any professional lighting setup via DMX. It allows you to select each of the three effects or the open position. Furthermore, it offers precise control over the wheel's rotation, allowing you to adjust the direction and speed to create smooth movements or dynamic transitions.
• "Gobo-Shake" Effect: Thanks to the fast response of its motor, it is possible to create a striking vibration or "shake" effect, adding aggressive dynamism to the projections when the situation requires it.
• Easy Installation: Its self-contained design allows for quick and easy setup. Simply place it in front of your laser projector's opening and connect it to a power source and your DMX controller.
• Wide Scanning Angle: The device is designed to work with a maximum scanning angle of 55°, allowing large surfaces to be covered without difficulty and making the most of the laser scanner's capabilities.

Benefits for the Lighting Professional

The FX GOBO Wheel is more than just an accessory; it's a tool that multiplies the value of your laser equipment. It allows operators and designers to go beyond conventional graphic and beam projections, adding layers of texture and movement that previously required additional projectors or much more complex systems. It increases the versatility of any laser system, enabling the creation of unique environments, from soft atmospheric backgrounds with the Lumia effect to impactful club effects with Burst grating and Gobo-Shake.

Use Cases

This accessory is ideal for a wide variety of applications where a superior visual impact is desired. It's perfect for permanent installations in nightclubs and discos, where the variety of effects can maintain visual energy night after night.
