I have an unknown photoresistor (5mm)

I tested it and it's ranges in value from 100 ohms in full bright light to 4 Mega ohms in darkness.

I can't find a specific photoresistor with those characteristics.

Is this a defective photoresistor or are there some with those values?

Thanks

Sounds like it is working as it should.
