Alternative Lights Stands

The following is an example of building alternative light stands.  These are not sold or produced by AXWare but are included here as an example of how to shield the lights from the elements for adverse conditions. The sensors and emitters can be put inside an electrical box.  The bottom has an opening for the wire feed (sensor side) and an opening for the beam in the front. As you can see the top has a weather strip around it to seal it complete from the elements. The bazooka looking extension on it provides for further protection from severe driving rain.  The wooden tri-pod setup contains screws on each corner (pointing downwards) to allow for leveling and providing a very good foot hold. Alternate versions of the stand could provide adjustability vertically, which this unit does not do. Allowing height adjustments would make it that much more flexible.  The beauty of this design is that is is cheap, and very tough. 

 "RaceAmerica Infrared Sensors overcome the problems with sun light and alignment common with many photocell or low tech infrared solutions. Other manufacturers use photocells which are very sensitive to sunlight and work poorly in bright sunlight. Others manufacturers also use more expensive laser powered beam emitters which generate a bright light to their low tech IR sensors. These seem to work if the sensors are shaded well from sunlight but often are intermittent when running a race event. While others purchase their sensors from outside sources, RaceAmerica's Infrared Sensors were designed by RaceAmerica back in 1991 and they have been perfecting them ever since. RA's sensors are designed to operate from total darkness to the brightest sunlight accomplished through a coded digital signal."
