I@ve got an old one I've had for about 25 years. I think RNIB sold one
but haven't seen one in their catalog lately. I've also got a small
sensor in a box that someone made for me for reading light controlled
crossings. Can't remember who made it. RNIB is probably the best first
call for a light probe though. Let me know if you draw a blank and I'll
have a mooch around to see what I can find. They last for ever hence
I've only bought one.

Hi Liam,
Which light probe do you use and where can I get one?
