About Gunes Làmh Dorais

Is làmh dorais a th' ann an Gunes a chaidh a dhealbhadh airson dorsan a-staigh. Glasaidh an làmh an doras gun iuchair. Glacaidh an cleachdaiche an cearcall soillsichte agus tionndaidhidh e e chun na deis no chun na clì. Sealltainn solas dearg an staid glaiste, agus sealltainn solas uaine an staid neo-ghlaiste. Tha an corp air a dhèanamh de almain teilgte le tèicsear sguabte, agus faodar a dhathadh gus a bhith a' freagairt ris an leas-thaobh a-staigh. Sgaoilidh loidhnichean cearcallach bho aon mheadhan agus tha iad a' toirt iomradh air gluasad an tionndaidh. Is e 180 mm an leud iomlan, agus tha trast-thomhas de 60 mm aig a' chearcall shoillsichte.
