Eight patterns is not a bigger projector. It is a year, loaded once.
The KaleidoScope 8 Gobo Static is the largest prism projector we build. Eight pieces of artwork sit in the machine at the same time, each projected through the prism as symmetrical geometry, each held perfectly still while it is up. Set it in October and it can run through winter, spring and a summer festival without anyone opening it.
Choose your prism when you order — TriScope ∞ or PentaScope ∞ — preinstalled and free, with all eight full-color gobos included free. From $1,327.88, eleven wattages to 700W, IP65 for permanent outdoor installation.
Say it plainly: a prism folds artwork, so this is not the projector for logos or sponsor marks. Eight legible logos is the standard 8 Gobo Static. Eight pieces of geometry people stand under is this one.
Worth saying plainly: a KaleidoScope is the same hardware we sell across the standard range. This is the same machine as our 8 Gobo Static — same LED engine, housing, IP65 rating, wattages, gobos and remote. What you are paying for is the prism optic, and that one lens does something extra wattage never could.
Which works in your favour: if you already own an Infinity projector, a prism lens fits it. Ask us and we will confirm for your exact model rather than sell you a second unit.
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 with 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 will recommend one.
Each of the eight patterns is held completely still for its turn, then the projector advances cleanly. With a prism, still matters: a symmetrical composition has a correct orientation, and holding it means the axes sit square to the building and the geometry looks intentional rather than accidental — eight times over, every cycle, for months.
If you want the symmetry turning instead, the KaleidoScope 8 Gobo Spin is a separate machine. Static and spin are chosen at purchase and stay that way.
Wattage is not about image size — the lens sets that. It is about winning against the light already on the surface. With a prism there is a second factor, and it is the most common reason a KaleidoScope disappoints: the prism does not add light, it spreads what the projector already makes across 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. Send us the distance, the size you want, which prism you are choosing and a photo of the site after dark, and we will 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 will confirm it for your site.
Your prism ships with the unit. What we would 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 when you want it and an ordinary logo projection when you do not, from one unit instead of two. At eight patterns the projector usually outlives its first location — a lens set means the next wall does not need a new machine. Add them at the time of order — far easier than chasing them later.
Mount within roughly 30 degrees of straight-on, and be stricter here than you would be elsewhere — a prism repeats any distortion right across the pattern. Keystone correction covers fixed mounting points that leave you no latitude.
Size is a lens question. Visibility is a wattage question. And a prism makes the second one sharper, because it is dividing the output rather than adding to it.
Three projections from a TriScope ∞, five from a PentaScope ∞ — all drawing on the same engine. Every individual projection is dimmer than the single image that projector would otherwise throw, and the five-way split is the one that catches people out.
Across eight loaded patterns, the wattage you pick is the wattage every one of them lives with. Buy the tier up.
Start at the Wattage Finder, then step up for the prism — once for a TriScope, twice for a PentaScope in anything but a dark room.
All eight full-color gobos are included free, made from your artwork. Bold, symmetrical, high-contrast shapes project beautifully through a prism; fine detail and text do not.
Send us anything and we will tell you honestly whether it survives the prism before we make it — and adapt it if it will not. Gobo size depends on wattage: 37 mm on 80W – 160W, 54 mm on 200W – 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.
Eleven 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 is built for 8–10 hours a day of commercial running. Tell us the install and we will spec it with you.
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.
Prism 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.
These 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 will 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 turn.
If the prism is not what you are after, the standard multi-gobo range covers the same pattern counts without it — and that is 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.
You choose one and it arrives preinstalled, free — either the TriScope ∞ (3-prism) or the PentaScope ∞ (5-prism). 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 the artwork still recognisable inside the pattern. The PentaScope ∞ for larger walls, ceilings and plazas with room for the geometry to resolve — more spectacular, and it needs the wattage behind it. Tell us the site and we will 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.
Six covers a seasonal program comfortably. Eight is for a full year set once, or an installation where several distinct looks need to run from one fixture without anyone attending it. If you are already thinking "I would need to swap gobos partway through the year," that is the signal for eight.
No. Static and spin are separate machines, chosen at purchase. If you want the geometry turning, order the KaleidoScope 8 Gobo Spin.
You can, but we would talk you out of it. The prism folds and multiplies whatever it is given, so a logo comes out woven into the pattern rather than projected as one legible mark, and a wordmark is unreadable. For logos and sponsor marks, buy the 8 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 are back to the kaleidoscope effect. A lens package ordered alongside the projector is the cheapest way to have both.
Yes — same hardware, different lens. Same LED engine, housing, IP65 rating, wattages, gobos and remote as our 8 Gobo Static. What you are paying for is the prism optic. If you already own an Infinity projector, a prism lens will fit it — ask us to confirm for your model rather than buying a second unit.
All eight, free, made from your own artwork. A KaleidoScope is not an exception to our normal rule: 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 will tell you honestly before we make it.
Yes — the prisms plan at roughly 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.
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 is 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 are 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 will price it as a whole. Mix Match & Save covers smaller combinations automatically.
Eight patterns from one fixture, changing on their own for a year, on surfaces you already own and already pay for. Once a venue sees that arithmetic, the question stops being what a sign would cost and becomes what the place could be. 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.
