This Light Dependant Resistor (LDR) can be used to easily measure ambient light with your Arduino or other board with analog input. You will need to set this up as a voltage divider with a resistor of around 10KΩ. ...

SKU: LB-LS2299 | Brand: Little Bird

A UV detection sensor module that measures ultraviolet light intensity in the 200–370 nm wavelength range. The analogue output (0–1 V DC) is proportional to the UV Index, making it suitable for measuring UV exposure i...

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...

SKU: AF-1980 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit TSL2591 is an ultra-high-range digital light sensor with a massive 600,000,000:1 dynamic range. It features both infrared and full-spectrum photodiodes, allowing you to separately measure infrared, full-s...

SKU: DF-SEN0212 | Brand: DFRobot

The TCS34725 is an I2C RGB colour sensor that detects the red, green, and blue components of light in its environment and returns digital colour values. With high sensitivity, a wide dynamic range, and a built-in IR b...

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...

Laser Detector Module Want to set up your own laser tripwire? These little modules make it super simple. Just hook one up to your Arduino, line it up with a laser pointer, and you’ve got a working laser detection syst...

SKU: DF-SEN0403 | Brand: DFRobot

DFRobot TCS3430 XYZ Tristimulus Color Sensor employs the new generation of TCS3430 spectral sensor IC launched by the well-known AMS company. It features advanced digital ambient light sensing(ALS) and CIE 1931 tristi...

SKU: DF-SEN0641 | Brand: DFRobot

The RS485 PAR Sensor measures photosynthetically active radiation in the 400–700 nm wavelength range — the light spectrum that plants use for photosynthesis. It converts incident radiation into a signal proportional t...

SKU: SF-COM-08348 | Brand: SparkFun

The TEMT6000x01 is a compact ambient light sensor that operates as an NPN phototransistor. The more light that hits the sensor, the stronger the base bias, producing an analog output proportional to the ambient light ...
