ebrown1972 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I will be in the process of building enlcosures for two 230w moving heads soon. I just purchased 2 of the 22" acrylic domes with 1/2" lip. I plan on mounting these to a box with vents and adding cable glands and such for power etc. During the process, I will take photos and post to this topic for anyone who may be interested. Hopefully I will get this done over the next 2-4 weeks. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They move nicely and the motors are quiet. They are very bright. I hope to test them outside in the dark soon. I am hoping they will give off a nice beam. They are big and heavy.

ebrown1972 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Sorry, Tried to share a photo and it's not showing up correctly. I did test the light tonight and the beam is nice and bright and beam shoots about 60-80 feet in the air if I had to guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDucks Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I hope you have provided plenty of cooling air flow. It would be a CRIME to kill one of those wonderful babies due to heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichRX7 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'm so tired of editing videos I think it is making me slap happy. I keep hitting refresh every 5 minutes to see if @ebrown1972 has posted his enclosure build yet. What is taking you so long? 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your ideas are safe for another year. We'll be out of town next year so I'm not likely to add anything new. So come up with something really cool that I can steal for the following year. Which is about how long it would take me to build it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't escape this disease for a year just because you might out of town for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlogan Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Does it count if wife says that, instead of what I call a horizontal fire stick, she wants 4 arches instead of the two I now have and I convert the fire stick to two more arches? I consider that more of a "repurpose" than a "new build." So, I'm waiting for you come up with something really new that I can copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the fire stick and put it in the middle with two arches on each side. Others will say to do circles instead of arches, but I really like my arches as they remind me of the "jumping water" at EPCOT (yes, we are a crazy Disney family). I don't want to takeover this thread from @ebrown1972 so I'm going to start a new "The things I'm going to add in 2020" thread in this same forum category. Plus I want him to have plenty of space in this thread to describe his water-proofing method! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebrown1972 Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 I finally got my plexiglass domes in and as soon as I find a little time and the weather cooperates, I will begin this build. Hopefully I will have them both built no later than sometime in the next 4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
