Cal Club (or more accurately, the person who maintains our equipment) took
the timing heads of the JACircuits lights out of those stupid crates and put
them in 2" or 3" diameter, foot long tubes mounted on an adjustable home
made tripod affair.  No problems with sunlight, and much easier to aim (he
even put a sight on top of the tube).
