The Adafruit BH1750 Light Sensor is a 16-bit ambient light sensor from Rohm that provides measurements directly in lux — the SI unit for illuminance. This makes it easy to compare readings against reference values or ...

SKU: AF-5378 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit Right Angle VEML7700 Lux Sensor is an I2C ambient light sensor that measures calibrated lux values rather than arbitrary brightness numbers. Its unique right-angle orientation senses light coming parallel...

SKU: AF-4162 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit VEML7700 is a high-accuracy ambient light sensor from Vishay that outputs calibrated lux values over I2C. Unlike basic light sensors that return unitless brightness readings, the VEML7700 calculates lux (...

The Adafruit LTR-303 is a low-cost I2C digital light sensor that provides 16-bit measurements for both infrared and visible+IR spectrums. Subtract one from the other to get human-visible light readings. With configura...

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: AF-3316 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit VL6180X is a close-range Time-of-Flight (ToF) distance sensor from ST that measures from approximately 5 mm to 100 mm (up to 150–200 mm in good conditions). It also includes a built-in ambient light senso...

SKU: AF-4161 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit VCNL4040 is a two-in-one proximity and ambient light sensor from Vishay. It measures proximity from 0 to 200 mm (~7.5 inches) using an on-board IR LED, and ambient light from 0.0125 to 6,553 lux — all ove...

SKU: AF-5591 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit LTR-329 is a low-cost I2C digital light sensor that provides 16-bit measurements for both infrared and visible+IR spectrums. Subtract one from the other to get human-visible light readings. With configura...

SKU: AF-5810 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout combines Vishay's VCNL4020 proximity sensor and ambient light sensor on one compact I2C board, making it a handy choice when you want to detect nearby objects and measure light levels at the same time. T...

SKU: AF-6335 | Brand: Adafruit

A modern take on the common RGB colour sensor — the OPT4048 provides true CIE XYZ tri-stimulus output so you can match readings directly to standard colour spaces. It also calculates colour temperature (based on CIE) ...

SKU: AF-6498 | Brand: Adafruit

Measure ambient light in real lux with a sensor that handles everything from very dim conditions to bright outdoor sunlight. This breakout is built around the MAX44009, an easy-to-use ambient light sensor that automat...
