Only two real different types. The old ones (light grey) have one gear (I thought 24t??). There are two versions of these old ones. From about 1993 the teeth became some longer. The new ones (dark grey) have two gears (16t+24t) ----- Original (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I just called S@H and they said that the light sensor <set:9758> has been discontinued. This really surprises me, as I think this is the most useful sensor they have.
