Goboland Consultant Wyatt Enever shows one of the new Goboland Black Holes.
UK - Wednesday saw the appearance of some mysterious Black Holes on the Goboland stand! Etched out of black coated steel, the Goboland Black Hole is a high-tech 'donut' which sharpens gobo projection by removing excess light and lengthening depth of field. The blackened surface also helps reduce reflections.

"The development of our new black steel process was perfect for a product such as the Black Hole as its non-reflective coating does not exacerbate reflection problems as previous products have done in the past," explains Goboland Consultant, Wyatt Enever.

The Black Hole is marked with pop-out segments - graded in exact photographic f-stops - to enable accurate manipulation of light output, reducing glare by between 6% and 50%. The resulting lengthened depth of field makes it easier to sharpen an image across its full diameter even when projected at an angle. This makes it ideal for usage in architectural, retail, corporate and art applications, and when sharp projection angles and keystoning are required.

"In an increasingly technical industry we were very pleased to hear one of our customers describe our Black Holes as 'so ridiculously simple, it's brilliant!'" states Enever.

Black Holes are available in four sizes to cater for most lanterns on the market. (Now there's something the physicists didn't know!)
