Now you've done it Steve. Ian is running about with the Colorino testing natural and artificial light (smile.) Very clever that. I never knew you could do that with it as I don't use the light probe bit of it much.

Hi Andy,

Not only that, but the light probe can tell you whether it is natural or
artificial light.  If you hear a buzzing kind of sound in the note, then the
light is artificial, but if it is a pure note, then the light is natural.
To hear the difference, first turn on a light, and measure, then turn off
all lights, and point at a window in the daylight, and you will hear the
difference.  That is the most advanced light probe I have seen.

All the best

Steve

Subject: [access-uk] First impressions of the Colorino

Hi all -

Got my Colorino colour identifyer today, and my first impressions are that
it scores well over the Cobolt equivalent. It is also much smaller, and much
better built, and the light probe is much more useful too as it actually
pinpoints the direction of the light source.

I haven't had any sighted clarification yet, but where I am able to say with
some certainty, it is more accurate in colour detection than the Cobolt; it
is also a bit more expensive at £73.48 [including p&p]

What I am wondering is how to recalerbrate it and to change the volume,
there doesn't seem a way to do this? There also doesn't appear to be an
off-on switch.

The Colorino comes in a rather odd zip-book type pouch.

Anyway, all in all, a good buy I think -

Andy
