jimswinder Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 This is one of the two enclosures I have built for my 12 unit CCR TreeThe enclosure is 12x12x6 and bought from LowesOn the bottom are the 6 power unitsOn top are the 6 controllers and CAT5 connectionsOn the left side are two weatherproof boxes with 2 outlets each for the Power AdaptersI will probably end up cutting the cables from the ribbons and solder on some Molex connectors (if I have time that is) otherwise they will just go thru the black Cord Grip in the center of the enclosure.

sasmuse Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Awesome. I need to build something like that for my ccr's. Is the entire box water resistant/proof or just the power adapter pieces? Also, where in Lowes did you find them?Thanks,Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasmuse Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks! How are you thinking of staging them? On the ground? Attached to the pole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached to the pole?this tree will be up on the roof, so they will probably just be lying on the roof next to the mast and base...(picture is of last years mega tree, but will be similar) Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbettez Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 the same enclosures are available at home depot and are $25 instead of lowes which was $34. I installed 12 ccr controllers and power adapters in one of those 12" boxes. I can get some pictures later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasmuse Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 OMG!!!!:shock: How tall is your house? I'm jealous....Hubby light show rules state that I'm not allowed to have anything on the roof even if I'm the one who puts it there. (our roof is 30 feet in the air and very pitched....probably a good rule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
