Photocell

Hi guys,
Are these new riello photocells with the black lense interchangeable with the old glass eye ones?

I haven’t come across them yet and still have a few left in the box.
Are they the ones for blueflame?

i know riello are phasing out existing type of photo that generally use cadmium sulphide (enviro reasons mostly) from what i can tell there will be two types for the Rdb bx, RL and R40

one for digital control box and a type for analogue control boxes.




(leaving UV sensor from blue flame out as unchanged)

All RDB burners, be aware that you get the one on the right on the picture shown, Grant always used the analogue type, so the black sticker with the white writing is the replacement for the current and older standard RDB. They are interchangeable, old and new
