What's happening
The Tudor gobo projector from Times Square Lighting is a value-oriented 45W static-white (4000K, CRI 80) ellipsoidal delivering 4800 lumens for reliable logo and instructional projection. It runs on 120V or 277V with On/Off, phase dimming, 0-10V, Casambi wireless or onboard potentiometer, and an adjustable 20°–40°/25°–50° zoom. It targets warehouses, retail back-of-house, campuses and simple branding without DMX complexity, carries a 5-year warranty and BABA/Buy America compliance.
Why it matters for buyers
For a retailer, venue or signage buyer, the practical effect is simple: the unit that reads on your wall at your ambient light, with your artwork, beats the one with the bigger number on the box. Specification order — distance, image size, ambient, then brightness — decides the result.
It also changes lead-time risk. Custom gobos and certified outdoor builds need briefing before the date is fixed; the projector is rarely the long pole, the artwork and certification are.
The technical angle
Brightness you can see is a function of ambient light, not just lumens. A 'bright' unit in a lit lobby disappears; the same unit in a dimmed evening reads strongly. Specify against the actual ambient, not a catalogue number.
What to specify
Before you request a quote, lock these down:
- Lead time on a custom gobo versus a stock pattern
- Ingress rating if it lives outdoors or gets washed down
- MOQ and dispatch window before the event date
- Ambient light level at the hour the projection must read
