Very Hot Weather and Outdoor Concerts

Hello- I am new to outdoor set up/outdoor venue elements.  A theatre I work for has done a couple of small outdoor concerts and weather was not a concern.  This weekend the weather is supposed to get up to be around 100-105 degrees Fahrenheit.  I will be needing to set the lights up Friday eve or Saturday morning.  We have zero shade on one side of the stage with my Elation Fuze z120 IP and Sixpar 300 IP lights from about 11am until about 5:30pm.  This puts the lights in the direct sun for about 4 hours.  I will not be operating the lights until about  6:15-6:30pm.  I am just trying to make sure the lights will be ok (since I am new to dealing with weather).  I know it says ambient operation temperature max is 113 F., but does direct sun light impact this and will it hurt the light?  Is there something I can cover the lights with that can help protect them from the heat until I use them?   Sorry if i seem too careful, but its a small theatre with zero budget right now for mistakes.  Thanks for any input!
