Help me find a light graffiti machine

September 30, 2009 9:24 AM

While in various locales I have seen what what appear to be advertisments or graffiti that appears to be light generated that is projected onto a wall. I would like to use this technology for a sign for my business. I am not able to find anything with my google talents. Can someone point me in the right direction to locate and price this technology?

erm ... a projector and a laptop?

Without a picture, this is just a guess, but if it's a static image projected on a wall, it sounds like a theatrical lighting fixture with a gobo (or pattern) placed into it. Neither of these are endorsements of any kind, but the fixture would be something like this one: Fixture, and the custom gobo would be something similar to this.

Indoor or outdoor? Static or moving? Monochromatic or full-color? How big is the surface? How bright is the ambient light?

Have you tried googling "advertising projector"?

I've seen this used way more in Europe than in the US -- the light is very bright, and seems different from most light sources (it reminds me of the annoyingly bright HID headlights in expensive automobiles). Following jerryg99's suggestion I found this one but no doubt many other systems are available.
