City Theatrical Now Offers ETL Listed Custom Outdoor Use Enclosures 

If you have been responsible for mounting lighting control gear outdoors you know that it can be a difficult task.  Choosing a weatherproof enclosure of the correct size and shape, trying to figure how your gear will mount and connect, wondering what size holes you need for connections to the outside world, all are really daunting for the designer or systems integrator. 

Now, City Theatrical can help you do it efficiently, at less expense than you might imagine, and with an ETL label that is required by law in many cities.  

We've launched our new 7400 series Outdoor Use Enclosures.  These new enclosures are available with NEMA 3R, NEMA 4, or NEMA 4X ratings, and with IP ratings up to IP66. They may be custom ordered in virtually any size and configuration, and all styles will be ETL Listed to UL STD 508A under City Theatrical’s ETL Shop Listing. 

ETL is one of the largest OSHA recognized Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) in the U.S.  As an NRTL, ETL provides Listing Services based on UL Standards.  City Theatrical has been producing ETL Listed products for decades, and has been producing ETL Listed custom products under its ETL Shop Listing since 2004.

These custom enclosures may be manufactured in steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, and may be powder coated in a range of durable and attractive colors.  City Theatrical can implement customer designs or provide complete ground-up designs based on customer application requirements.  All of the new 7400 series Outdoor Use Enclosures are designed and manufactured in City Theatrical’s Carlstadt, NJ factory.

The addition of Outdoor Use Enclosures to City Theatrical’s portfolio means that we can quickly expand the range of standard outdoor use versions of our many popular products, as well as provide custom outdoor use enclosures and complete products to our customers that are optimized for each customer and application.  For instance, we could provide an outdoor enclosure for your SHoW DMX™ Transmitter broadcasting DMX to LED fixtures lighting up the outside of a building, or we could help you design a custom enclosure to protect your own lighting control gear. 

Developing this new capability is another example of City Theatrical’s commitment to innovation and growth, and will allow us to serve our customers in exciting new ways.  Call us with your application questions or email our Head of Engineering, Larry Dunn (ldunn@citytheatrical.com)
