Description of the Device 

The Showgear RainDome 40 cm is a rain cover platform for stage luminaires with a maximum diameter of 
40 cm. The device protects stage luminaires from rainfall which makes it possible to use indoor stage 
luminaires outdoors. The device has a built-in pressure sensor which turns the device off when the inner 
pressure decreases. The device is equipped with IP-rated True1 power input and output connectors. It is 
possible to power stage luminaires by connecting them to one of the 3 output connectors (pro power, 
pro power True1 and Schuko).
