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: SF-SEN-14351 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun AS7263 breakout brings near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to your microcontroller projects. The sensor measures six discrete NIR wavelengths, allowing you to characterise how different materials absorb and ...

SKU: SF-SEN-14347 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun AS7262 Visible Spectral Sensor Breakout brings spectroscopy to the palm of your hand, making it easy to measure and characterise how different materials absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light. ...

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: SF-SEN-23518 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun Mini Spectral UV Sensor features the AS7331 from ams OSRAM, measuring ultraviolet radiation across three dedicated channels: UVA (320–400 nm), UVB (280–320 nm), and UVC (200–280 nm). Each channel has its ...

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: SF-SEN-15436 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun VEML6030 Ambient Light Sensor is a high-accuracy, 16-bit light sensor that measures ambient light in lux with a spectral response similar to the human eye. It connects via the Qwiic I2C system for solderl...

SKU: SF-SEN-15050 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun Triad Spectroscopy Sensor combines three AS7265x spectral sensors with onboard UV, visible, and IR LEDs to measure light across 18 individual frequencies — from 410 nm (UV) to 940 nm (IR). It brings light...

SKU: AF-6491 | Brand: Adafruit

This compact breakout combines a Vishay VCNL4030 proximity sensor and ambient light sensor on one board. It can measure proximity from 0 to 300mm (about 12 inches) and light from 0.004 to 16,768 lux, making it a handy...

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...

SKU: AF-6479 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout brings ambient light tri-stimulus colour sensing to your project using CIE XYZ plus an IR channel, rather than the more common RGB-style approach. It is designed for applications where you want access to...
