IGLOO
OFFERS COMPLETE PROTECTION AGAINST RAIN, HEAT AND ICE
code C61195
Whenever moving lights are installed outdoors – either permanently
for architectural applications or during temporary events and festivals
– protecting such sensitive equipment against the elements becomes
essential. The Igloo was created by Clay Paky for exactly this purpose
– a tough, sturdy enclosure that offers complete protection against
rain and humidity, and maintains a perfect working temperature
(between 0°C and 35°C) for fixtures even in hot or sub-zero condi-
tions. The Igloo is great for permanent installations and is an indis-
pensable tool for rental companies who want to protect their stock
of lighting during outdoor events and festivals. Above all, the Igloo is
quick to install, simple to use and competitively priced.

The Igloo is entirely weatherproof, with each component offering IP54 protection. The locking system connecting the base to the dome is
equipped with a watertight seal and fasteners; power and data cable glands are certified for outdoor use. And, a flexible mounting system
allows the Igloo to be oriented in any position without compromising its high IP rating-either placed on the ground, hung upside-down or
fixed to upright structures in a horizontal position.
The Igloo dome is injection molded from
UV-resistant transparent polycarbonate,
and is carefully designed to ensure flaw-
less projections without loss of light or
image distortion.
The temperature inside the dome is re-
gulated by an automatic cooling and
heating system that maintains a constant
operational temperature between 0
O
C
and 35
O
C (32
O
F-95
O
F).
The Igloo has been designed to accom-
modate any model of moving light from
Clay Paky’s own Alpha 700, Alpha 300 or
Sharpy series - as well as automated fix-
tures of similar size, weight and consum-
ption from other brands.
Installation follows a quick, plug-and-play
procedure requiring no tools or special
skills. A mechanical multi-positional fi-
xing system allows a variety of compati-
ble luminaires to be fixed. Once sealed,
internal electrical connection is done
via the supplied Powercon socket, and
an integrated XLR socket allows con-
nection to the fixture’s DMX interface.
For DMX512 fixture control, two options
are available: either by using the Igloo
version with onboard wireless receiver
(useful for remote locations) or by using
the DMX wired version, with IN/OUT ca-
bles and waterproof glands, integrated
into the base of the dome.
Power is supplied via two cables with
cable glands: one for the dome internal
devices, the other for the luminaire.
The Igloo is equipped with four carrying
handles and offers the option of a flight
case for safe transport.
The base is extremely shallow allowing the beam to point in any direction without being
blocked or masked - even at maximum downward tilt.
