[SML] Outdoor Gobo Projection Help?

[Dale Farmer]

Do this with an old source 4 that you are willing to throw away after 
it's done.  after a couple of months outside in the weather, there is 
all kinds of bimetal corrosion going on.   If you have a local rental 
house that will sell you a couple of old ones for cheap, this is a 
viable option.

    IF you have any sort of structure in a reasonable projection 
location, such as a guard shack or can build a little simulated doghouse 
or something hidden by landscaping features, then shine it out through a 
window in the structure.   Do take precautions to keep the critters, 
bugs and bees out.

    This time of year, there are all sorts of cheapie projectors loaded 
with holiday themed gobos for decorating one's house for the holidays. 
Buying a half dozen of these with some custom gobos may be a more cost 
effective solution.  (half a dozen, since I expect that their life span 
in continuous service is only a couple months.)

    Oh yeah, may want to investigate the local sign ordinances before 
installing this.  This may count as a sign, and require a permitting 
process with fees.
