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 ...

SKU: DF-DFR0022 | Brand: DFRobot

The Gravity Analogue Grayscale Sensor measures reflected light intensity, outputting an analogue value that ranges from black (low) to white (high). It uses a photocell paired with an integrated white LED to illuminat...

SKU: AF-249 | Brand: Adafruit

This pack includes everything you need to build a light and temperature data logger with an Arduino. The Adafruit data logger shield records sensor readings to an SD card with real-time timestamps, while the included ...

SKU: SF-SEN-12829 | Brand: SparkFun

If you’ve had ideas for a project that depends on the ability to sense different spectrums of visible light and react based on those measurements, the ISL29125 breakout board may be just what you need. The ISL29125 br...

SKU: SF-SEN-12566 | Brand: SparkFun

The ALS-PT19 is a compact SMD ambient light sensor, significantly smaller than standard through-hole alternatives like the TEMT6000. Functioning as an NPN phototransistor, it provides an analogue voltage output propor...

SKU: AF-6477 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout makes the AS7343 multi-channel spectrometer easy to add to your project. Instead of only measuring overall brightness, it can quantify how much light is present across different wavelengths, letting you ...

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-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...

SKU: AF-6461 | Brand: Adafruit

This compact breakout combines RGB colour sensing, true lux light measurement and infrared proximity detection in one I2C device. With library code running on your microcontroller, it can read red, green, blue and cle...

SKU: SF-SEN-23220 | Brand: SparkFun

Measure visible and near-infrared light with a compact Qwiic breakout based on the AS7343 multi-spectral sensor. It covers approximately 380nm to 1000nm and is suited to reflected, emitted and transmitted light measur...

SKU: DF-SEN0657 | Brand: DFRobot

This all-in-one weather station sensor brings seven key environmental measurements into a single outdoor unit: wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, light intensity and rainfall.It use...

SKU: SF-SEN-22923 | Brand: SparkFun

This Vishay TEPT4400 is a small ambient light sensor built around a silicon NPN epitaxial planar phototransistor. It is designed to respond to visible light in a way that is similar to the human eye.Use it for simple ...

SKU: AF-6064 | Brand: Adafruit

Need approximate distance sensing over tens of centimetres to around a metre, plus ambient light measurement from the same board? This breakout carries Vishay’s VCNL4200, a two-in-one IR proximity and ambient light se...

SKU: AF-4698 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit AS7341 is a 10-channel multi-spectral light sensor that detects not just the amount of light present, but the specific wavelengths — giving you far more detailed colour information than a simple RGB senso...

SKU: AF-2748 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit ALS-PT19 is a compact analog light sensor that provides a simple voltage output proportional to ambient light intensity. Its spectral response closely matches that of the human eye, thanks to a high infra...
