Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Stéphanie Soudais

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Parle-t-on de photodiode ? Si oui, c'est clair qu'elles sont sensibles à la lumière ???

Makes little sense to me Neither term makes a great deal of sense to me, I think you may have a flawed EN text. But to help us understand, you really need to give us a lot more of your overall context, so we can see how these terms are being used and perhaps figure out what they were really trying to say!

An LED is a light-emitting diode, so by definition it is not 'light-sensitive' (and even less so dark-sensitive!)

I suspect I know what they are getting at, but only more context will enable me to confirm.
