Lex Products Adds PowerHOUSE Break Out Box Series

Lex Products Corporation announces the further expansion of its PowerHOUSE Series to include a range of portable power distribution boxes designed for the theatrical production market.

The new Break Out Boxes provide connection points for entertainment lighting fixtures, including LED lights, with multiple versions that feature various types of receptacles. All of the new boxes are fed from industry standard six-circuit lighting cables.

"With the proliferation of LED lights in entertainment venues, the market requires more options for powering these lighting fixtures, and the new Break Out Boxes answer this need by providing Edison, stage pin, and PowerCON connector options," said Bob Luther, chief executive officer of Lex Products. "The ability to mount power distribution boxes is also critical, so Lex Products designed an alternate model that enables simple attachment to trusses or poles, horizontally or vertically, with minimal effort."

Two Break Out Box versions include feed thru options to allow multiple boxes on the same feed. The feed thru model with PowerCON outputs enables multiple low wattage LED lights to be powered from the same circuit.

The new Break Out Box models feature a Lex Products' LSC19, 19 pin, 6-circuit, 20A per circuit panel mount male or inline male on a cable tail, to three different output configurations:

• NEMA 5-20, 20A duplex receptacles
• NEMA 5-20 Edison receptacles wired in parallel with 20A stage pin receptacles
• 20A PowerCON receptacles

Lightweight, compact, and stackable, the PowerHOUSE Break Out Boxes weigh less than 8lbs. The Break Out Box is available in a basic model, as well as a mountable model, which allows it to be attached to trusses or poles with a C-clamp, which can be purchased separately. The Break Out Boxes are constructed of engineered thermoplastic material. The boxes are designed to be resistant to corrosion, shock and impact, the company says.
