They absorb more heat than enhanced aluminum gobos and are likely to break or oxidize. If used, their lifetime can be extended somewhat by inserting the gobos with the coated side towards the lamp.

For best focus, the coated side of glass gobos should face out, away from the lamp. Textured glass gobos must be inserted with the smooth side facing in, towards the lamp. Uncoated side towards lamp Coated Glass Gobos Coated side towards stage When an object is held up to the uncoated side, there is a space between the object and its reflection. The edge can be seen through the uncoated side. When an object is held up to the coated side, there is no space between the object and its reflection. The edge cannot be seen through the coated side.
