Aluminum vs. Steel Gobos?

It all comes down to detail and longevity! Aluminum gobos are lightweight and work beautifully for simpler geometric designs or shorter temporary installations. However, because aluminum is thin, it can degrade under prolonged exposure to intense heat. Steel gobos are the industry standard for durability, they handle the continuous high-output heat of commercial fixtures flawlessly, allow for significantly cleaner laser cuts on intricate details, and maintain their shape over repetitive uses.
