sirrob28 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hey guys. I bought my first ccr back during the sale. Ran it last night along with a test arch abd all ran great. The one question I have is that since the CCR box is not waterproof how do you guys protect it from the elements. I live in upstate NY and the weather can get a little rough up here at times.

I live in upstate NY and the weather can get a little rough up here at times.I just put mine in a Tupperware type container. I have done this for 3 years without an issue (except for my leaky cover). I would really recommend the use of duct seal if you go for the non weather proof entry connector.Steve Edited September 3, 2012 by steve synek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightsinMaine Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I stick the power supply and brains in a CG-1000 box as per attached page....... http://www.store.creativelightingdisplays.com/Enclosures_c19.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I stick the power supply and brains in a CG-1000 box as per attached page....... http://www.store.cre...losures_c19.htmGreat idea and thanks for the link to the product. I bought just a single CCR to play with and will incorporate into my show. This is my first year out and I was trying to think of a decent way to protect the controller and power supply for the CCR. This will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrant Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I agree, Steve's show is clean and sharp. Not overdone with too many lights and looks nice. Hope I can get to his level some day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are smaller than the CG-1000 and fit the controller and power supply tight, but nicely.http://store.creativ...sure-CG-500.htmHere is pic I posted last year.http://forums.lightorama.com//uploads/imported/280604=15574-IMG00027.jpg Edited October 6, 2012 by CLD Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
