1 Introduction
The Tornado TM Lighting Enclosure
Thank you for purchasing the original Tornado Lighting Enclosure. We hope that this investment
has paid off many times over, in preserving your expensive moving lights in a hostile outdoor
environment. Now you have wisely decided to extend the life of your investment even further, by
upgrading all the active elements in your enclosure(s) to the latest specification, and with a new 12-
month manufacturer’s warranty. This will at least double the life of your enclosure, at a far lower
cost than replacing it
What’s in a Kit?
Your Tornado retrofit Kit provides brand-new parts to replace EVERYTHING on your original Tornado
enclosure, excepting the fiberglass base and the plexiglass globe (replacement globes are always
available – accidents can happen!). All metal parts and hardware supplied are 304 stainless steel,
and marine-grade latches are included as standard.
