Raindog Light Plate
The Raindog Light Plate is a rainscreen mounting plate that sits behind an exterior light fixture where it penetrates the siding, using a built-in rainscreen channel and a double water seal system to route water away from the fixture opening instead of letting it pool against the wall. It is molded from copolymer UV-stabilized polypropylene, about 7 in. x 7 in. at the face, and fits an industry-standard 4 in. receptacle or electrical box.
Features and Common Uses
- Built-in rainscreen channel diverts water away from the siding surface around the fixture opening
- Double water seal system at the fixture and receptacle penetration
- Copolymer UV-stabilized polypropylene, average 0.09 in. wall thickness
- Fits an industry-standard 4 in. receptacle or electrical box
- Approximately 7 in. x 7 in. face size
Commonly used for:
- Exterior wall light fixtures mounted through vinyl or fiber cement siding
- New construction and re-side jobs needing a standoff mounting surface for a wall light
