Continued from Green LED array measurements
At 1:10 pm PT the green LED array, radio shack part number 276-009, was producing 393 mV DC.
At about ~ 2:20 pm PT I decided to deliberately shine light on the array, not a terrible amount, but enough to easily see it. The DC voltage flipped, as expected. The DC voltage produced by light (photoelectric effect) from the LEDs and diodes with transparent cases (e.g., radio shack 1N914) has always been in the opposite voltage polarity as the DC voltage produced by the diode itself. The DC voltage was -240 mV, due to the photoelectric effect. After the light shined on the LED was removed, the DC voltage began to slowly reverse as the diodes reversed the charge on the low leakage 0.01 uF capacitor.
At about ~ 2:25 pm it's 480 mV DC. It appears the LED array likes the new tilt switches that have ultra high resistance in the off position. Another option is that the LED array is so disturbed that it is oscillating as it dampens down. This has been an observed effect in highly disturbed diodes.
