Industrial Gobo Projectors for Safer Workplaces
High-visibility safety projection systems for warehouses and factories — with pedestrian walkway and crossing installations featured on BBC Inside the Factory.
Improve awareness, reduce accidents, and enhance traffic control with intelligent, industrial-grade projection technology.
Overview
Painted floor lines and taped safety markings wear quickly in busy industrial environments. They fade, chip, and require frequent reapplication – creating downtime, ongoing cost, and inconsistent visibility.
ElectroGlow’s industrial gobo projector systems provide a safer, smarter alternative. Using high-output, industrial-grade LED projectors, we project safety walkways, pedestrian crossings, warning symbols, and traffic control signage directly onto floors or walls – maintaining clarity in high-bay, dusty, and low-light conditions.
Systems can be installed as permanent projections or integrated with PIR sensors and vehicle detection technology to create intelligent safety zones that respond dynamically to site movement.
All systems are installed by NICEIC approved engineers as part of our wider Electrical Installation Services

Benefits of Gobo Projection Systems
Light-based safety markings provide greater durability and visibility than traditional painted or taped solutions.
Key benefits include:
High visibility in low-light, dusty, and high-bay environments
Optional vehicle-activated warnings for dynamic traffic control
No repainting or re-taping — reducing downtime and maintenance costs
Customisable symbols and colour-coded safety messaging
Long-life LED projectors with minimal maintenance requirements
What We Deliver
Whether it’s a high-traffic warehouse floor or a production corridor, our systems improve visibility, reduce risk, and enhance operational awareness.
Where required, gobo systems can be installed alongside compliant Lighting & Emergency Systems

How it Works
Smart projection that adapts to your environment — making safety visible, responsive, and consistent.
Site Assessment
We assess layout, traffic flow, risk zones, and lighting conditions.
System Design
Projector placement, lens selection, and projection angles optimised for coverage and brightness.
Sensor Integration (Optional)
PIRs or vehicle detection units added where dynamic safety control is required.
Testing & Calibration
Focus, brightness, and trigger logic fine-tuned to ensure clarity and reliability.
Case Study
Pedestrian Walkway & Crossing Projection — Beeston, Nottingham
Featured on BBC Inside the Factory
Challenge:
A pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Beeston required clear, highly visible pedestrian walkways and zebra crossings within active forklift and logistics zones. Traditional painted markings were prone to wear, requiring regular maintenance and disruption to operations.
Solution:
Electroglow delivered a full LED lighting upgrade, replacing existing fittings with high-efficiency industrial luminaires. Intelligent microwave sensor controls were installed to ensure lighting operated only when areas were occupied, improving both safety and energy performance.
The project included the installation of:
122 industrial gobo projectors to define pedestrian walkways
8 projected zebra crossings in high-traffic areas
19 PIR-activated units for intelligent, occupancy-based operation
Integration with Schneider Canalis distribution infrastructure
Recessed white gobo projectors for a clean, durable finish
This walkway and crossing installation was featured on BBC Inside the Factory, demonstrating the effectiveness of projected safety systems in real-world industrial workplaces.
Results achieved:
Clear, consistent pedestrian segregation across the facility
Improved visibility and safety awareness in forklift operating zones
No repainting or ongoing floor marking maintenance required
Installed efficiently within a live operational environment
Durable, long-term safety solution with minimal downtime

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our solar and EV solutions.
Can the projectors detect vehicles as well as people?
Yes. Systems can integrate PIR sensors or dedicated vehicle detection units to identify forklifts and other moving equipment in real time.
Do projections replace physical signage?
No. They enhance visibility and work alongside existing health & safety signage and compliance requirements.
Are projections visible under bright lighting?
Yes. Industrial-rated projectors are designed for high-bay and well-lit warehouse environments, maintaining strong clarity and contrast.
Do the systems require frequent maintenance?
Very little. LED light sources typically last 30,000–50,000 hours, with only occasional lens cleaning recommended.
Do you offer servicing or replacement once the LED reaches end of life?
Yes. We provide ongoing maintenance support, including replacement of the LED module and driver when required — extending the lifespan of the projector without the need to purchase a complete new unit.
Can projection graphics be customised?
Yes. We can create custom symbols including STOP warnings, pedestrian crossings, directional arrows, PPE zones, and site-specific safety graphics.
