Designed for a high power and rather hostile environment (like a street light) these photo cells have values from 1.36 Mohms to 40 Mohms in the dark and from 50 Ohms to about 1000 Ohms in outdoor daylight. We pick what you get (2 different) in this range. 0.55" dia, they need a clear lens protecting cover if used outside.

The best thing about trickle–charge solar panels is that they stop dimes and dollars from trickling into the coffers of the utility company. But these panels from Sun–Mate Corp also power the batteries for electric fences, water pumps, outdoor telephones, fans, TVs and other devices beyond the reach of your orange extension cord. All voltage ratings are no–load.The small 3–3/4” x 2–9/16” x 1/4” panel has (2) threaded posts with nuts, and produces 0.5 volts @ 1.0 amp. All are waterproof, weatherproof, corrosion–resistant, and built to last a lifetime.

Winner of this week's "What IS That?" award. It's a watch crab, also called a spanner wrench, that's designed to remove the back from watches, lenses from telescopes, and other thin, flat components from whatever they're attached to. Heavy for its size, it's 1" x 2-3/4" x 3/8" thick, with sharp 1/4" prongs projecting from the edge. The prongs move from 2" to 7/16" apart as you spin the furled nut between them. An impressive tool to flash in front of your brother-in-law. If he doesn't read our catalog, he won't have a clue!
