If it is raining on the sunlamp it '''WILL''' short circuit and cause fires, to prevent it simply build a hollow 3*3 square of walls around it, that will add a 3*3 roof over the lamp, and when the roof are in place sell the walls '''except for 1 wall peace''' that holds up the roof, if that wall break the roof will fall (except if you have another wall within 5 blocks (the range needs testing & confirmation), then it will magically float in mid air, even if the wall is in no way physically connected to the roof).

A sun lamp uses the same amount of power as 4 standing lamp does, and therefore shouldn't be used to only light up a room, especially if it's a small room.

Sun lamps are primarily used indoors near hydroponics tables in order to provide the indoor plants with light that is bright enough for the plants to grow without sunlight. If a sun lamp is left outside, it can become a potential hazard if it begins to rain. If this was to occur, the sun lamp has a chance to short circuit, starting a fire and damaging anything around the lamp.</translate>

How to prevent short circuits

If it is raining on the sunlamp it WILL short circuit and cause fires, to prevent it simply build a hollow 3*3 square of walls around it, that will add a 3*3 roof over the lamp, and when the roof are in place sell the walls except for 1 wall peace that holds up the roof, if that wall break the roof will fall (except if you have another wall within 5 blocks (the range needs testing & confirmation), then it will magically float in mid air, even if the wall is in no way physically connected to the roof).

Like this:
◉ - Sun lamp
▩ - Wall
▢ - Power conduit

Roof under construction.
