Photo Transistor Light Sensor
SKU: AF-2831 | Brand: Adafruit
This Photo Transistor Light Sensor is a simple sensor that detects ambient light. It's kind of the opposite of an LED - when light hits the little chip inside, it induces current to flow from the long pin...

Photo cell (CdS photoresistor)
SKU: AF-161 | Brand: Adafruit
CdS cells are little light sensors. As the squiggly face is exposed to more light, the resistance goes down. When its light, the resistance is about 5-10KΩ, when dark it goes up to 200KΩ. To use, connect one side o...
