Bizywk Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I'm working on my DIY DMX and need to find some small outdoor plastic inclosures very similar to the ones LOR sells for their controllers but smaller. I want a waterproof latched door. The size needs to be fairly small, perhaps W4"xL4"xD2" or somewhere around there. I can find some pretty inexpensive boxes out there but not the small size (LOR Partner: http://store.creativelightingdisplays.com/Enclosures_c19.htm). None of the box home improvements stores, local electrical supply store, or internet searches reveal a source of supply for them, but I know they're out there, I see them in youtube videos, but cant run down a source. Any ideas? Edited March 27, 2013 by Bizywk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Benedict Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 These are the ones that most people use: http://store.creativelightingdisplays.com/Enclosures_c19.htmPick the size you need. The store owner is CLDKEVIN, the guy that had the great that was so viral that his HOA shut it down after did a in front of it. Interesting story.

LightsinMaine Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 A cg-500 is probably the size u are looking for. You can get them from Kevin or a company called DFCoutryman online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizywk Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 You guys are awesome. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLD Kevin Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks fellas for adding my links. I apologize for not getting back those who emailed me lately. I just had a unexpected surgery and very slow recovery....even having a hard time looking at a computer screen without getting a headache...still fuzzy probably from the meds. Looking at my iPhone doesn't seem to have no effect on me, but looking at my large PC monitor makes me dizzy. I will get any orders out in a timely matter (next day or 2) as I basically have my young son pack it for me....I just supervise. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Go slow and get others to help Kevin. Speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizywk Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Wow - You're the guy with THAT house? I've been drooling over that display design for months. NICE JOB! You'll see an order from me soon. I may have to delay it a bit due to the LOR sale announcement - IF I can get in before its all gone. Start-up costs in this hobby are painful. I wish you a speedy recovery sir. I hope it wasnt eye damage from your spectacularly brilliant display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Looking at the links above, I see links for the enclosures below. So, according to the people posting, you should be able to fit2 boards in http://store.creativelightingdisplays.com/CableGuard-CG-2000-Enclosure-CG-2000.htm1 board in http://store.creativelightingdisplays.com/CableGuard-CG-500-Enclosure-CG-500.htm My question is.......According to LOR's data sheet, the CTB16PC is 7.25" x 6.75" x 2". Meaning, 1 board won't fit in the 2nd link and 2 won't fit in the first...or am i missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLD Kevin Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I always read others posted the info you stated, but was a for the CMB16D....the DC board. 2 DC boards will fit in the CG-2000 and 1 in the CG-500. But when it comes to the CTB16PC...the CG-1500 enclosure was used. Attach pics is of DC boards in the those enclosures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLD Kevin Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I haven't tried this, but the CG-1000 may work for 1 CTB16PC? Size looks okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
