We have purchased several IP65 rated fixtures (Chauvet Colorados and the like) mainly because the price was right. I'm sure some of you have experienced the horrors that are the IP65-rated connectors/adapter cables, especially when the gear has just come off of a cold truck. Is there any reason that we don't just snip all that garbage off and put on normal XLR and Edison plugs?
We have yet to hold a show in a torrential downpour, or where the crew is trying to clear us off stage with a fire hose. My partner in all this is worried about outdoor shows, but most (if not all) the gear that is used on a typical outdoor show is no more than IP20. Seems like: if the gear is a little wet, it's probably in need of a good wiping down anyway!
Thanks.
