I understand how it is SUPPOSED to work, but my comment is based on actual, personal experience.
LGW (north) barrier is more difficult to use. This is due to the strip lighting directly above the barrier. The glare from the light interferes with the IRIS capture process. There is a similar problem at TN1, sunlight streaming in from the window on the right hand side interferes with the iris capture process. TN1 barrier best used on a cloudy day or at night!

To ensure a successful IRIS capture please look into the camera with eyes wide opened a bit like a 'Startled Rabbit'! It also helps to remove spectacles if possible.
