A Complete Guide to Buying Logo Projectors
Wattage, Features, and Types


INTRODUCTION

Choosing the right logo projector is crucial for delivering crisp, impactful projections, whether for branding, safety, or creative displays. From understanding wattage to exploring different types of projectors, this guide provides everything you need to know. You’ll learn how projection distance and lighting conditions affect your choice, plus the unique features of single-lens, multi-gobo, and high-wattage projectors.

Let’s dive in!


How Logo Projectors Work

Logo projectors use a high-powered light source and a custom glass gobo slide (a stencil of your design) to project images onto walls, floors, or ceilings. Gobos can include logos, patterns, photos or messages, making them incredibly versatile.

How to Choose the Right Wattage

The wattage of your projector determines its brightness and suitability for different settings.


Factors to Consider:


  • Projection Distance: How far the projector is from the projection area.
  • Light Setting: The brightness of the environment that the projection will be projected in (dark, normal, or very bright).

  • Refer to the chart below:


  • Dark Setting: A 50W projector works for distances up to 20 feet, but a 150W projector is ideal for up to 50 feet.
  • Normal Light: A 100W projector is suitable for 20 feet, while 200W is better for up to 50 feet.
  • Very Bright Setting: At 20 feet, you’ll need at least 100W, while 300W is better for up to 50 feet.

  • Example:


    For a 30-foot projection in normal light, a 150W projector ensures visibility. If the space is very bright, upgrade to 200W or more for clear results. Note that projections are not meant to be projected in full sun - the projections will pop more the darker the setting is.

    Understanding Lenses in Logo Projectors

    The lens in a logo projector determines the size of the projected image relative to the distance between the projector and the surface. Every projector comes with a default 1:0.36 lens, but there are upgrades available for specific needs. Here's how each lens ratio works and what it means for your projection:


  • Default 1:0.36 Lens:
  • This lens creates a projection diameter equal to 0.36 of the projection distance. For example, if your projector is 10 feet away from the surface, the projected image will have a diameter of 3.6 feet. This lens is ideal for shorter distances and compact spaces, offering crisp, focused projections.
  • 1:0.5 Lens Upgrade ($75 uncharge)
  • The 1:0.5 lens increases the projection diameter to 0.5 of the projection distance. At the same 10-foot distance, the projection will expand to 5 feet in diameter, making it better for medium-sized spaces where a larger image is needed.
  • 1:1 Lens Upgrade: ($100 uncharge)
  • For the largest possible image, the 1:1 lens creates a projection diameter equal to the entire projection distance. At 10 feet, your projection will be 10 feet wide, making this lens perfect for large venues, clubs, or outdoor spaces where maximum size and impact are essential.


    Why Does CHOOSING THE RIGHT LENS Matters

    Choosing the right lens ensures your projection is appropriately sized for the space and purpose. For small rooms or tight areas, the default 1:0.36 lens is often sufficient. For larger venues or more immersive effects, upgrading to a 1:0.5 or 1:1 lens allows your design to stand out and cover more surface area effectively.
