Lighting Systems
The Alexa housing has provisions to utilize a variety of lighting systems. Ball mounts for
the light arms may be located in several locations on Alexa housing: a) threaded into the
top of the Handle Grips: b) on the Foot Rails; or c) onto accessory mounts that slide
onto the same dovetail slots as the handle grips.
Controlling Reflections
While it is unlikely, you may encounter reflections from within the port area of Alexa
housing from anything shiny.
To control such reflections Gates recommends two easy measures:
Blackening the shiny area
with a black permanent marker; or
Install a mask over the lens, as shown in the photo.
This measure is rarely
needed, but if necessary black neoprene makes an excellent, flexible masking
material. Cut to your specific lens and cut the outer ring diameter to fit the port.
Note: Lens masks are not provided by Gates.
If reflections are encountered, a
mask can help minimize the
problem.
