<snip>Many thanks for that bit of info, how are you coping with this
potential nightmare?

The cadmium aspect ? We'll just continue using the photocells we've always used as normnal.
How about yourself ?

The company I work for switched from CdS to a photo-transistor. It
seems to work well for our application. The standard layout includes
locations for two different photo-transistors (to ensure a good supply
and the best price). It made a nice project for the COOP student
about a year ago.
I'm not sure how the cost compares to the CdS circuit, but I think it
is similar.
The company policy is that everything must be documented as being ROHS
compliant. It's somewhat painful and costly, but what's the cost of
losing ~30% of our business? And then there are similar regulations
coming up soon in other parts of the world (China and others). We
suspect there will be some confusion until there are legal proceedings
which clarify just what documentation and effort are required; we
decided to complete our due diligence and not risk it.
