SV: [sdiy] Eu might be banning Vactrols and LDRs??

[John Alex Hvidlykke]

Gosh, no ;-)

I meant 8 kiloohms minimim resistance, when subjected to 10 lux.

The resistors I wil be subsituting with LDR's in circuit bent electronics
usually is in the 20k to 200k range, so I will in many cases be using a
series resistor to get the value into a workable range - and still have
plenty of variation left.

I will probably buying for something like a hundred LDR's for my own wicked
purposes. This is - hopefully! - not a liftime, but should last for several
year, until I either find e new hobby or a technical workaround.
