LilyPad Light Sensor
The LilyPad Light Sensor is a sewable ambient light sensor designed for wearable e-textile projects. It outputs an analogue voltage from 0 to 5 V proportional to light intensity — approximately 5 V in daylight, 1–2 V under typical indoor lighting, and near 0 V when covered.
Part of the LilyPad wearable electronics platform, this sensor features large sew-tab pads for attaching with conductive thread. The thin 0.8 mm PCB sits flat against fabric and is washable once properly sealed.
