Yes, these probes respond when they detect light and are silent when no
light is detected. There are also probes that vibrate instead of making a
sound. So if the light is blinking, the probe will respond with beeps or
vibrations in the same pattern as the flashing light. Some color
identifiers are able to work as a light probe as well.

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
