Covering for a lighting device
An electronic component, e.g., a stage light, covered with a vehicle wrap material, to change the color.
1 . A electronic device, comprising:
a first part, operated by electricity, that creates heat when it consumes electricity, and where said first part is not intended to be wet;
a housing, holding said first part; and
a colored vinyl wrap which is glued to said housing.
2 . A device as in claim 1 , wherein said electronic device is a stage lighting luminaire that has produces the light output of at least 1000 lumen.
3 . An electronic device as in claim 2 , wherein said vinyl wrap is vehicle wrap.
4 . An electronic device as in claim 3 , further comprising low residual adhesive which glues said vinyl wrap to said housing.
5 . A method of changing a color of a housing of an electronic device, comprising:
changing a color of a housing of the electronic device by attaching a vinyl wrap to at least one surface of the housing of the electronic device where the vinyl wrap has a different color than an original surface of the housing of the electronic device, and where the vinyl wrap is attached over the at least one surface of the electronic device; and
at a first time, operating the electronic device in a way that creates heat with the vinyl wrap covering the at least one surface.
6 . A method as in claim 5 , wherein said attaching comprises using a glue.
7 . A method as in claim 6 wherein said attaching comprises applying a primer on at least some areas of the at least one surface and not applying the primer on other areas of the at least one surface.
8 . A method as in claim 7 wherein said attaching further comprises using heat from said operating of the electronic device to shrink the vinyl wrap.
9 . A method as in claim 5 further comprising removing the vinyl wrap and operating the electronic device without the vinyl wrap at a subsequent time after said first time.
10 . A method as in claim 5 , wherein said electronic device is a light having an output of greater than 1000 lumens.
11 . An electronic device, comprising:
at least one electronic component;
a connection for said electronic component, which when powered causes said electronic component to operate and to create heat;
a housing for said at least one electronic component, which is heated by said operation; and
a vinyl covering on said housing, attached to said housing by a glue part, wherein said vinyl covering is a different color then the color of the housing, and where the vinyl covering covers at least part of the housing.
12 . An electronic device as in claim 11 , wherein said electronic component is a light having an output of greater than 1000 lumens
