Jim,

I believe I got it many years ago from Ann Morris Enterprises. Its a 
triangular plastic case with a velcro square stuck to the back in case you 
want to fasten it to something. It has a philips screw on one side to hold 
the 2 sides of the case together. On the top, there is a plastic tube about 
1/4 inch long that limits the light that reaches the sensor so yes, I'd say 
it should work well with lights that are closely spaced because you can put 
it right up against a light and that tube shields it from surrounding light 
sources. it works terific on the audio board lights I need to check. Trouble 
is, i doubt you can get it anymore. In fact, I didn't see any light sensors 
in the places I looked. They used to be readily available. lou  WA3MIX
