Do you have any concerns about - in the case of rain during the event - water on the front of the projectors cracking the cover of a projector because of temperature differential?
[I thought that not only smooth air flow, but that this was a key reason for the lenses on these assemblies.]
I had the guts of a Cadillac projector mounted on a motorcycle years ago which got ridden in the rain, and it never cracked/broke fwiw. Dunno if it was a good idea or what engineers designed ect but it worked.
Ok, follow-on question for Zacks:
What lamp lens material cover? Intensity / technology?
My knowledge is limited and dated.
I'm remembering cautions about handling halogen bulbs. I know that oils from fingers is different than rainwater, in that the oils can get really hot and yet stay in one place on the glass, but presumably any alcohol or water (from cleaning) initially on the bulb will evaporate before there's too great a temperature differential; but air temp rainwater on hot glass might have a different effect.
I freely admit ignorance about the headlamps, and I'm happy to defer to more knowledge.
