I have used both 3500mcd and 10000mcd versions. If one is not bright enough, take two ! If you got to see it by eye, make it blink. Sometimes it is easier to 'see' a blinking light by electronic devices too. Then you just use a derivating receiver or resonating. If you cant get the transmitter powerfull enough, make the receiver more sensitive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PTM, pasi.mustalahti@utu.fi, ptmusta@utu.fi, http://www.utu.fi/~ptmusta Lab.ins.
