Some projections tell people something. This one changes how a place feels.
The Infinity KaleidoScope projects your artwork through a prism lens, and what lands on the wall is not the image you started with. It is that image opened outward — mirrored around a center, faceted, layered. Project a snowflake through it and you get frost spreading across glass. Project a simple ornament and it turns architectural. People stand under these and take photographs, which is not something that has ever happened to a printed sign.
Four patterns load at once and run in static mode, so every one lands clean and square. Choose your prism when you order — the TriScope ∞ or the PentaScope ∞ — and it ships preinstalled, free, with all four full-color gobos included free as well. From $767.88, in fourteen wattages, IP65 rated for permanent outdoor installation.
One honest thing before you go further: a prism folds and multiplies whatever you give it, so a company logo or a sponsor's name comes out folded into the pattern rather than projected legibly. If you need a readable logo, buy the standard 4 Gobo Static instead. We would rather send you there than sell you the wrong projector.
We'd rather say this plainly than have you find out later: a KaleidoScope is the same hardware as our standard range. This is the same projector as the 4 Gobo Static — same LED engine, housing, IP65 rating, wattages, gobos, remote and warranty. What you're buying is the prism, and that one optic does something no amount of extra wattage could.
Which is useful to you: if you already own one of our projectors, a prism lens fits it — you don't need a second unit. Ask us and we'll confirm for your exact model.
The prism folds the light around a center point, so the artwork you project opens outward into a symmetrical form that reaches wider than the plain image would. Fine detail and small text get lost in the folds; bold silhouettes and strong geometry project stronger than they would on their own.
The more open of the two. A broad triangular spread where the artwork you projected stays recognisable inside the pattern. It divides the light three ways rather than five, so it holds brightness better — the safer pick on a modest wattage or a surface with some ambient light.
Denser and more symmetrical, closer to a classic kaleidoscope flower. Here the artwork you projected dissolves into the pattern itself. Suited to larger walls, ceilings and plazas where there is room for the geometry to resolve — and it needs more wattage, because it spreads the same light further.
The photographs explain this better than we can. A prism effect is hard to put in words and obvious the moment you see one projected — look at the examples before you decide, and ask us for more on a surface like yours. Not sure? Tell us the site and we'll recommend one.
Wattage isn't about image size — the lens sets that. It's about winning against the light already on the surface. With a prism there's a second factor, and it's the most common reason a KaleidoScope disappoints: the prism does not add light, it spreads the same output over a wider area. Spread light wider and it gets dimmer.
So order a higher wattage than you would for a standard projector on the same wall — and higher again for the PentaScope ∞.
Guidance, not gospel — your surface and surrounding light still decide it. But the direction is always the same: up. This is the one product where we'll actively steer you to a bigger unit than you came in for. Send us the distance, the size you want, which prism you're choosing and a photo of the site after dark, and we'll size it properly.
Ratio × distance = width, same as every Infinity projector — but both prisms are wider than the 0.33 lens our standard units ship with, so a KaleidoScope reaches wider from the same mounting point.
Working backwards: distance = width ÷ ratio. These are planning figures — tell us your distance and the area you want filled and we'll confirm it for your site.
Your prism ships with the unit. What we'd genuinely encourage you to add is a lens package of standard lenses — because a standard lens turns the same machine back into a conventional projector projecting one clean, undivided image. That means the KaleidoScope effect for the festival weekend or the event, and an ordinary logo projection on a normal evening, from one unit instead of two. Add them at the time of order — far easier than chasing them later.
This is the static KaleidoScope: each of the four patterns is held completely still for its turn, then the projector advances cleanly to the next. That matters more with a prism, because a symmetrical form has a correct orientation — the points line up, the axes sit square to the building, and it looks intentional. If you want the symmetry rotating, the KaleidoScope 4 Gobo Spin is a separate machine; static and spin are chosen at purchase and stay that way.
Mount within roughly 30 degrees of straight-on, and be stricter here than you would be elsewhere — a prism repeats any distortion across the whole pattern. Keystone correction covers fixed mounting points.
Size comes from the lens. Brightness comes from the wattage. On this model there is a reason to be generous with the second one.
The prism splits the output. Three projections through a TriScope ∞, five through a PentaScope ∞ — all sharing the same light source. Each individual projection is therefore dimmer than the single image the same projector would throw, and the five-way is the one people underestimate.
Because all four of your patterns run through that same prism, an under-specified wattage does not disappoint you once — it disappoints you four times, on rotation.
Start with the Wattage Finder for the distance and size, then move up a tier for a TriScope and two for a PentaScope. Tell us the venue and we will confirm it.
This is bought by people making an environment, not a sign.
All four full-color gobos are included free, made from your artwork — the same as any other 4-gobo unit in our range. Bold, symmetrical, high-contrast shapes project beautifully through a prism; fine detail and text do not.
Send us anything and we'll tell you honestly whether it survives the prism before we make it — and adapt it if it won't. Gobo size depends on wattage: 37 mm on 35–160W, 54 mm on 200–700W, which catches people out when they reorder, so give us your model number. Browse the stock collection for patterns already proven in a prism, or build your own in the Gobo Designer.
Fourteen wattages and your choice of prism, plus the same customization the rest of our range offers: power cord cut to your mounting length, the Mean Well power supply upgrade that takes LED life from 30,000 to 50,000 hours (from $88.88), an outdoor waterproof timer and other outdoor accessories, extra remotes, and standard lenses alongside the prism. It's built for 8–10 hours a day of commercial running. Tell us the install and we'll spec it with you rather than leave you guessing at a dropdown.
Mean Well takes the light engine from 30,000 hours on the standard supply to 50,000 hours, and the manufacturer does not recommend running them 24 hours a day — pair one with a timer if the fixture would otherwise stay on around the clock.
Festival and light-trail work is genuinely international — European winter trails, Gulf hotel terraces, Japanese illumination events, Australian summer festivals. We ship to all of them with freight included, and the projector runs on local mains power wherever it lands.
Prism projectors are rarely bought singly, because a trail or a plaza needs several projecting across different surfaces. Send the scope and your dates through the quote form and we'll price the installation as a whole and confirm production against your switch-on — larger orders get project pricing. For a few units, Mix Match & Save combines projectors, gobos and lenses at a progressively better price.
Every KaleidoScope includes a prism of your choice free. The only questions are how many patterns you want loaded and whether they hold still or rotate.
If the prism isn't what you're after, the standard multi-gobo range covers the same pattern counts without it — and that's the right family for logos.
Yes. Every unit is manufactured with a wide-voltage input of 110–240V AC, so it runs on standard US 120V mains straight out of the box — and on 220–240V anywhere else in the world without a converter. If you have seen figures like 24–36V or 165–265V on a spec sheet, those describe the driver's internal DC output, not the voltage at your wall.
A prism lens. A standard projector projects your artwork once, as a single image. A KaleidoScope folds that same light into a symmetrical, faceted pattern with real depth to it — one composition, not a picture repeated beside itself. It also reaches wider from the same distance — see the size table.
You choose one and it arrives preinstalled, free — either the TriScope ∞ (3-prism) or the PentaScope ∞ (5-prism). Pick the TriScope for a more open pattern, better brightness and modest wattages; pick the PentaScope for a dense, fully symmetrical field on a large surface with the wattage to drive it. If you want the other one as well, you can add it — just ask.
The TriScope ∞ if your wattage is limited, the surface has some ambient light, or you want your artwork still recognisable inside the pattern. The PentaScope ∞ for larger walls, ceilings and plazas with room for the geometry to resolve — it's the more spectacular of the two, and it needs the wattage to back it up. Tell us the site and we'll recommend one.
Yes — the most important thing to get right when you order. A prism does not add light — it spreads what the projector already makes across a wider area, so what you project comes out dimmer than the tighter single image the same unit would throw. Order higher than you would for a standard projector on the same wall, and higher again for the PentaScope ∞. Roughly: where a standard projector wants 80–100W, plan 150–200W for the TriScope and 200–300W for the PentaScope.
You can, but we'd talk you out of it. The prism folds and multiplies whatever it's given, so a logo comes out folded into the pattern rather than projected as one legible mark, and a wordmark is unreadable. For logos and sponsor marks, buy the standard 4 Gobo Static. Some customers run one of each — the standard unit carrying the brand, the KaleidoScope carrying the atmosphere.
Yes — add standard lenses. Fit a standard lens and the same machine projects one clean, undivided image like any other projector in our range; fit the prism and you're back to the kaleidoscope effect. A lens package ordered alongside the projector is the cheapest way to get both, and it's much easier to add at the time of order than later.
Yes — same hardware, different lens. This is the same projector as our 4 Gobo Static: same LED engine, housing, IP65 rating, wattages, gobos and remote. What you're paying for is the prism optic. If you already own one of our projectors, a prism lens will fit it — ask us to confirm for your model rather than buying a second unit.
All four, free, made from your own artwork — the same as any other 4-gobo unit. A KaleidoScope is not an exception: single-lens projectors come with two, 4-gobo with four, 6-gobo with six, 8-gobo with eight. Order more any time.
Bold, symmetrical, high-contrast shapes — snowflakes, stars, florals, mandalas, geometry, ornament. Fine detail, small text, photographic images and anything meant to be read left to right do not survive the fold. Send us what you have and we'll tell you honestly before we make it.
It reaches wider, yes — the prisms plan at ~0.50–0.60 (TriScope ∞) and ~0.65 (PentaScope ∞) against 0.33 for a standard lens. See the size table above for the figures at 10, 25, 50 and 100 ft.
No. Static and spin are separate machines, chosen at purchase and not convertible. If you want the symmetry rotating, order the KaleidoScope 4 Gobo Spin.
30,000 hours as standard — about thirteen years at six hours a night — and up to 50,000 hours with the Mean Well power supply upgrade (from $88.88). It's built for 8–10 hours a day of commercial use. Also available at order: power cord cut to your mounting length, an outdoor waterproof timer and other outdoor accessories, extra remote controls, and standard lenses alongside your prism.
Yes, at every wattage — IP65 in an aluminum housing, rated −20°C to 60°C (−4°F to 140°F). Light trails and civic installations run these through whole winters outdoors.
Yes, and indoors is often where a prism looks best. A ceiling or a broad interior wall gives the geometry room to resolve, with no daylight competing.
Not on your own property. On someone else's, get their agreement in writing. Prism work is often treated as public art rather than advertising, which can ease approval for a plaza or civic building — but check local lighting rules early, because those approvals move slowly.
Typically 1–2 weeks including your gobos and prism. If you're developing artwork specifically for the prism, allow a little extra for the proof round.
Yes. Trails and plaza installations usually need several units — send the scope and your dates through the quote form and we'll price it as a whole. Mix Match & Save covers smaller combinations automatically.
Most projection asks how to get a message onto a wall. The KaleidoScope asks something different: what if the wall became the artwork? A prism takes one small disc of glass and projects a faceted field of light from it. Nobody reads it — they stand inside it, and they photograph it. That's a different business from signage, closer to what a lighting designer does for a festival, and it's exactly where this projector belongs. Join The Projection Revolution ∞
Yes, but noise levels are low. Even larger models have fan systems that are unobtrusive in event environments.
With proper use (about 8 hours daily), they can last years. As with all projectors, extended runtimes may reduce lifespan.
Yes. Some effects projectors allow gobo customization, so you can combine branding with dynamic effects.
Yes. Rentals are available, generally costing about 40–50% of purchase price. For frequent use, buying is more cost-effective
.
No. Regular dusting and safe storage are usually enough. Keep lenses clean for best results.
Yes. All Infinity Projectors products come with a 1 year warranty covering manufacturing defects.
Avoid projecting in direct sunlight or onto overly reflective surfaces, which reduce visibility of effects.
Yes. Bulk orders qualify for package pricing. Contact us for a custom quote.
