The Gravity VEML7700 is a high-accuracy digital ambient light sensor that outputs readings directly in lux (lx) over an I²C interface. Built around the Vishay VEML7700 IC, it features a 16-bit ADC, a high-sensitivity ...

SKU: AF-466 | Brand: Adafruit

The VCNL4010 sensor is a nice way to add a small-distance proximity sensor to your microcontroller project. For longer distances (in the range of cm, you can use a SHARP IR distance sensor, but those are only good ...

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-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: 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...
