Donny M. Carter Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Just wanted to show some pics of my new watertight connectors from Ray Wu. I asked for black, an he made them at no extra charge. I will use these for my floods, arches, and all kinds of crap! They are sweet. 50 sets delivered from China for $71.00. Very nice product also!

Very nice product also!Hey Donny -They are very nice connectors, but in my opinion and experience, they are totally unnecessary. If you could keep your connectors off the ground instead, you'd be perfectly fine. In addition, how will you seal the pigtails, that sit just a few inches from the "waterproof" connectors? You should have asked here first...Certainly not worth the time and money, but, to each his own.D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Herberger Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Nice! How many wires are they for and what does the pin configuration look like? Do you have a link for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion and experience, these are completely necessary. I have thought about how I will seal off the the end. But thanks again for the wonder words. These awesome connectors are perfect for what I need, guess that's why I ordered them.Tim, the connectors are 4 wire. the will be used for some RGB stuff I'm working on. Here is an up close pic of each end.DonnyHere is the link Tim.http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/101885537.html Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 So these are essentially the same 4 pin rainbow flood connectors that Greg sells..just a better price?I'm doing the same thing..but only for 6, so I got mine from Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny M. Carter Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Don, that is correct. I have some I got from Greg but I wanted black. So when I ordered them I asked Ray to make them in black, he said no problem. I'm setting up my yard landscape lighting, so I did not want white. These are just like Greg's. Now if I can just get Ray to make Greg's lights for 1/3 of the price I will be in great shape. Just kidding Greg!Donny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you're leaving them out all year for landscape lighting, corrosion would be a problem. At this price, they are better than the DIN connectors I bought at the surplus store, but I only needed 8, so it seemed not worth it to pay for shipping from China.

Gary Blair Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I ordered these (four pin) in white and am very happy with them. They will make set up and tear down much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually purchase from him directly for the majority of the stuff but he gets me directly connected to the manufacturers. That is the case with the 4 pin connectors we sell. We actually switching over to a completely waterproof setup and will be using the pigtails and wiring on all our products. DMX and power over the same line.

Dan C Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I agree those connectors are great! I'm using them on most of my spot lights and a couple new floods I have. I wish they came in 7 or 8 connector though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
