How to Change a Roto Gobo

The Roto Gobo by American DJ is a rotating gobo projector used for special lighting presentations. A gobo is a disc or plate with one or more shapes carved into it that is placed in front of a light source to project the shapes. You can replace the Roto Gobo lamp if it burns out, or the preinstalled gobo that comes with the unit, if you want to project different shapes.
