Bubba in NV Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have 12 strobe lights that I have just received, they use the C9 screw base receptical and should be mounted upright. I want to put these in a cluster on my roof. I sure could use some ideas on how to put them there. I live in a high wind area and normally no one here roof mounts anything. But these are only about 4 inches in length. We do not get much snow here and it doesent stay long, also no rain.Any pics or tutorial advice or anything would be appreciated.ThanksBubba PateTonopah Nevada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then find the lowest point on each strobe and drill a drainage hole there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba in NV Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Cool, thought about that, I have them laying down affixed to guy wires I strung accross the roof. I doubt if we will get any moisture any time soon... We got less than our normal 1/2 inch of rain this summer....I was thinking about making a flat base to slip them into so they are upright from shaved 1X4 and then attach it to the guy wires to keep them there. I dont think they would blow over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
