Catalysis of the transfer of an ion from one side of a membrane to the other. Catalysis of energy-independent facilitated diffusion, mediated by passage of a specific solute through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel. Stereospecificity is not exhibited but this transport may be specific for a particular molecular species or class of molecules. Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of a calcium ion by a voltage-gated channel that is activated in response to light. Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a channel that opens in response to a light stimulus. Catalysis of facilitated diffusion of an ion (by an energy-independent process) by passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism.
