Gossen makes a conversion kit that converts meters using mercury batteries
to use silver oxide batteries.  The Order Code is 4145 and costs (last I
knew) about $18.

You should contact the importer of Gossen products - Bogen Photo Corp., 565
E. Crescent Ave., P.O. Box 506, Ramsey, N.J. 07445-0506 phone: 201-818-9177
or Fax: 201-818-0060 or e-mail: info@bogenphoto.com.  Their web site is at
www.bogenphoto.com.

The Gossen literature shows the current Luna-Pro S to have a sensitivity at
ISO 100 from EV -4 to +17 while the Luna-Pro Digital ranges from EV -2.5 to
+18.

Why not go to the Bogen web site and request the literature for the products
you are interested in and send them a note or call them about the battery
conversion kit?

Best Regards,
Bud Cook
