I am trying to understand photoresistors. I have a sheet of different models and the part that is confusing me is Photo Resistance (kohms). For each there are two columns, R10 and R100. For example, the GL5516 has 5-10 under the R10 column and <=2 on the r100 column.

This is what I think it is but am unsure; at 10 lux, the GL5516 has a resistance of 5-10 kohms and at 100 lux has a resistance of <= 2 kohms.

Here is the PDF I have: http://www.cyfronika.com.pl/dokument/gl5639.pdf

I just want to make sure I am reading and understanding this right.

Thanks.

Sure looks right to me, and 200kΩ in the dark.

Thanks...mark this thread solved.
I can't do that and neither can you. A moderator can, or once the post becomes inactive, it no longer shows on the 'New Posts' section of the forum and is looked at much much less.
