I found the Banner qs18vp6d sensor on eBay for $28.00 so I ordered one from China yes it arrived about a month latter. But I could have purchased one from a US supplier north of $150.00 an ungodly price.
google the sensor. Banner qs18vp6d.
I had a power cube at 12 VDC, and I found a LED strobe light for $3.00 on eBay another item shipped by backward sailing sail boat to the US. I wired it up using this schematic found on the above mentioned
