### [IR Break Beam Sensor - 3mm LEDs](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/ir-break-beam-sensor-3mm-leds.md)

**Brand:** Adafruit

**Price:** $6.50

**Stock:** Out of stock

**SKU:** AF-2167

Infrared (IR) break-beam sensors are a simple way to detect motion. They work by having an emitter side that sends out a beam of human-invisible IR light, then a receiver across the way which is sensitive to that same light. When something passes between the two, and its not transparent to IR, th...
