timsabre Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I've hired them from HSL before, no doubt they would carrier to you. They are not all that great at keeping rain out of the fixture unless the rain is totally vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spantax Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi Chris, We do have some of the Robe "rain hats". Which fixtures do you need them for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablett Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hi, I need these for 2 Martin Mac250 Entours. I don't mind They will be hung from a truss. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spantax Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hi Chris, I'm guessing it was you talking to my colleague Tim Fawkes earlier? I did have a look on the Martin rain covers, and from the spec on Martins Website they only go down to the MAC550's so I think you will struggle finding something ready made for 250 Entours. Best I could offer would be Robe 1200 Domes which obviously is a bit overkill. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to where to source them sorry can't help you there, although I would second the suggestion of PRG or maybe Richard Martin Lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI John,Even if the clamp spacing on the 250 Entour and the MAC550 is the same, they use different omega brackets, and the positioning of the safety wire attachment on the base of the 250 Entour is offset to the edge of the base instead of being in the center of the base as it is on the fixtures Martin says it is suitable for use with. Using it with a 250 Entour means that there will be two slots that would need secondary sealing to provide water protection and you would have to bodge a solution for the safety wire. I would assume that is why Martin doesn't say it is suitable for use with the 250's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhuson Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The MAC 250 Entours can use the same Omega's as the rest of the MAC series so this wouldn't be a problem. However I'll be honest I hadn't considered the position of the safety point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
