West Florida Components is now a distributor for Dri-Box, a box perfect for keeping your electrical connections safe and dry. Each Dri-Box can hold a  power strips with up to 4 connections or transformers  or, in the case of the larger Dri-Box, a connection extension reel with up to 4 plugs or transformers plugged in.  The Dri-Box was originally developed to fill a need that existed for Christmas light enthusiasts which was how to keep lots of strings  of Christmas lights dry and organized – even in rainy or snowy weather. The Dri-Box was born .  People quickly realized that the Dri-Boxes could be used for containing electrical connections in many other places and applications like for example outdoor fountains and pond installations; for boats, for lawn equipment, for gardens and camping and RV’s, to name just a few. The possibilities are unlimited.

The Dri-Boxes are IP55 rated which means that they are safe to use in situations where water is sprayed. Dri-boxes are not watertight so it is not recommended  that you use them in situations where they might be submerged. The IP55 rating provides for protection against dust (limited ingress) and protection against low pressure water jets from any direction.
