Everyone expects the traditional card and flowers, but how about doing something unexpected this Valentine\u2019s Day? One of our customers, Sean*, did just that and proposed to the love of his life with gobos. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sean booked a hotel with his sweetheart, Rachel*, and on Valentine\u2019s Day asked the hotel staff if he could project his proposal onto the brick wall just outside their hotel window. That night after a romantic dinner the couple returned to their room and Sean told Rachel to look out the window. Eyebrows raised in curiosity, Rachel pulled back the curtains and there on the building across the street were the words, \u201cRachel, will you marry me?\u201d illuminated against the red brick backdrop. She of course said yes, and the happy couple are married to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make it a day to remember<\/h3>\n

This Valentine\u2019s Day, make your loved one feel truly special and say it in lights. It doesn\u2019t have to be a marriage proposal, you could simply project the words \u2018<\/span>I love you<\/span><\/i>\u2019 on the lawn below your partner\u2019s bedroom window or put \u2018<\/span>Rachel & Sean forever<\/span><\/i>\u2019 in lights on your dining room wall. Saying it in lights can turn a simple dinner at home for two into a romantic night to remember. Choose from a variety of <\/span>fonts and styles<\/span><\/a> or create your own <\/span>custom gobo<\/span><\/a> from scratch. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Increase sales with Valentine\u2019s Day projections<\/h3>\n

You can also use custom and stock gobos to transform your retail store for Valentine\u2019s Day with just a few well-placed lights. Draw your customers\u2019 eyes to your featured display with <\/span>gobo hearts<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>cupid<\/span><\/a> projected in red or white, or a <\/span>custom gobo<\/span><\/a> with your chosen sales message and branding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celebrate in style<\/h3>\n

Throwing a Valentine\u2019s Day party? The right lighting will set the mood, whether you\u2019re going for intimate and romantic or a more casual, relaxed atmosphere. For bigger events, like a fundraiser or corporate gala, really impress the guests by casting a red or pink glow over the entire space with <\/span>color filters<\/span><\/a>. Check out this <\/span>romantic lounge<\/span><\/a> bathed in pink light with large hearts projected on the carpet. This <\/span>classic banquet hall<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is another beautiful example, with a stage lit by red and white uplighting and framed by hearts dancing up the walls and onto the ceiling.<\/span><\/p>\n

What you\u2019ll need, to say it with lights<\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re proposing, saying \u2018I love you\u2019 or just looking to make a Valentine\u2019s Day party extra special with gobo lighting, you will need the appropriate gobos and projector(s). We recommend glass gobos, especially for detailed <\/span>custom artwork<\/span><\/a>, to ensure you receive the highest quality image for the widest variety of applications. (Learn more about the different types of gobos <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.) <\/span><\/p>\n

Once you decide on the image and preferred material for your gobo, you\u2019ll need to choose a projector. The <\/span>ECO Spot B40<\/span><\/a> (interior) or <\/span>B40E<\/span><\/a> (exterior) are our most versatile projectors and will ensure your message or image is bright and visible on most any surface and in both bright and low-light environments. Not ready to invest in your own projector? Try contacting a local DJ or event planner for assistance projecting your chosen gobo(s). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Put love in the spotlight<\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re planning to propose this Valentine\u2019s Day, host a fundraiser, or just throw a great party for your friends, gobos can help you put love in the spotlight and make your truly day memorable. <\/span><\/p>\n
