jrcarlton Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I have some 5V lights that I would like to connect to a Pixie 4; however, I cannot find a 5V power supply that's waterproof (IP67). Any recommendations would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Most folk have their Pixies in a water resistant (when wall/post mounted) case like a Cable Guard 1500, there is room for a standard PSU (Look at what LOR offers as a RTG pixel unit. I have a couple of these (series) boxes intended for outlet strips w/wall worts. Be cautious about heat buildup and minor leaking if any cord can wick into the box https://smile.amazon.com/SOCKiTBOX-Weatherproof-Connection-Electrical-Transformers/dp/B018HHMBW2/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1WPYPYGFVPNJR&dchild=1&keywords=outdoor%2Bweatherproof%2Bpower%2Bstrip&qid=1606529717&sprefix=outdoor%2Bweather%2Caps%2C248&sr=8-7&th=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Same here. I have everything that is outside mounted in weatherproof enclosures - either PVC electrical boxes or inside my brick columns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrcarlton Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Pixie 4s don't come with a power supply. I have a water tight enclosure, but i need a 5V power supply vs a 12V. I prefer IP67 rated power supplies, but I cannot find one that is 5 V. No, not submerged. I just need a recommendation of a 5V power supply. IMHO, stating something as absurd was not necessary, It's absurd of making an assumption (IMHO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A splash/rain resistant rating (IP65) is common. Holiday Coro has both 12 and 5V that must be mounted vertical (fan opening down). I have 6 of the 12V ones, some are on their 3rd season I mount mine on the back of the CG1500 cabinets, which are all pole mounted. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GNbvb6PCypJm5oxizE3Ff1iLBckuno9m/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
