Outdoor solutions for indoor fixtures

[matcreyn]

A friend is lighting a show outdoors and wants to use a pair of Solaframe 1000s (only IP20 rated). It’s rainy season here. Does anyone have any safety solutions for protecting these sweet new movers from the elements for a few weeks? I don’t know if they’re going to be top mounted or underhung, so solutions for both would be great. We can toss a Rubbermaid 50 gallon trash can on top of them at night, but what if (when) it rains? Any ideas? Got a bead on how to find and attach a 3’ long by 2’ diameter acrylic cylinder?

Google “moving light weather dome”. Then see if somebody nearby rents them.

One company that makes something for this is:

Moving Head Rain Cover - Rain Protection - Air Domes – GLP

The GLP Rain Covers offer virtually complete protection from the elements. Without interfering with the light beam or a fixtures movement.

I noticed that Fullcompass is one of their dealers in the US.
