36. Cut a length of heat shrink tubing about 3/4″ (19 mm) long. 3/16″ diameter heat shrink tubing can
work well (we included tubing of this size with kits prior to August 2015), but please note that the actual
diameter of heat shrink tubing often differs significantly from its nominal diameter, depending on the type
and manufacturer of the tubing.
37. Flatten the tube and make a diagonal cut through it to produce two equal pieces. Each piece should
measure about 1/2″ (13 mm) along the longer side.
38. Slip one of these pieces of heat shrink tubing, square end first, over each forward emitter LED so that
it extends past the case of the LED. The diagonal opening of each tube should face forward and upward so
that the longer side of the shroud blocks infrared light from hitting the floor.
