Q. Hi, Is the LDR safe to work with or to use it in experiments? Thanks
A. Hi Wally, thanks for your question. Yes, the LDR is safe to use in experiments.
A CdS (Cadmium Sulphide) light dependent resistor (LDR) that is housed in a small package. Typical applications for this device include: camera automatoc photometry, photelectric control, annunciator, light control switch, industrial control, and electronic toys. Note: This product contains cadmium sulphide, the use of which is restricted by the RoHS directive

A. Hi Wally, thanks for your question. Yes, the LDR is safe to use in experiments.
Q. Is this able to detect uv rays? Or is there anything similar you can direct me to get something like that? Thank you
A. Thanks for your enquiry Phil. The LDRs are intended to operate in the normal visible wavelength – we have sensor that are aimed at the infra red end – but not the ultra violet.
