Well Ian thinks this discovery with the light probe is really interesting Andy.
I bought mine from the address you posted for Debbie, but I got a phone number and rang my order. They also do a good alternative talking tape-measure to the Cobolt one in case anybody is interested. It is also very good.

For me, if it is held directly under a ceiling light, it makes the same highpitched sound it does for natural light - Andy----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 6:58 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: First impressions of the Colorino| Now you've done it Steve.

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 | | -----Original Message----- | From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of | Andy Collins | Sent: 17 October 2007 17:06 | To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | 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.
