This light probe sounds like a handy little gizmo, but what kind of batteries does it use? I have discovered that many of these devices come with button-cell batteries which are sealed inside and thus impossible to replace. So if the batteries die after a few months of use, you would have to buy another light probe, right?

Kim,

In the case of a flashing or blinking light, does the probe
give intermittent audible beeps to indicate such versus a
solid tone to indicate a light that stays on?

Yes, that is so true. We have a modem from Clearwire and all
five lights
need to be blinking before we have a strong signal.
Rich has a light probe and it works perfect.
We also use it for lights in the house if they are left on
or not and that
probe is a life saver especially when you are paying the
electric bill.

Hi All;

Here is a tip I ran across on another list that I thought
might come in
handy for a lot of us.

Dealing with lights on your router,modem or other device.


hi folks, thought of this a while back, and then saw this
post and
realized
I was right, it will work, so passed it along! elf -----

For Lisa and others who may be concerned with knowing the
status of
indicator lights on a router or modem, I can determine
which lights are
on,
off, or blinking with a light probe.  Independent Living
aids has one for
twenty-three dollars and change.  They work well for a
number of things. I
use my probe to tell me about the lights on various
cooking devices such
as
a rice cooker, foreman grill, and many other things. It
will find lights
on
those little cube shaped power supplies that plug into the
wall;  the
blinking light on the victor stream;  the light on the
computer speakers;
and a host of other things I can't bring to mind just now.
Just a
thought.
Lois Goodine.

Hope this helps.  Take care.
Mike
