## Description

A pack of 50 through-hole photoresistors (light-dependent resistors / LDRs) with a 5 mm diameter sensing element. These components change their resistance based on the amount of light hitting the sensor — resistance decreases as light intensity increases — making them a simple and inexpensive way to detect ambient light levels. Photoresistors are commonly used in automatic lighting systems, light-following robots, and basic light-level sensing circuits. They pair well with a voltage divider and an analogue input on any microcontroller such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Key Features 50-Piece Pack – Bulk quantity for classrooms, prototyping, or multiple projects 5 mm Diameter – Standard through-hole form factor, breadboard-friendly Analogue Light Sensing – Resistance varies with ambient light intensity Simple to Use – No special library or protocol required; works with a basic voltage divider Specifications Type – 5800B Photoresistor (LDR) Diameter – 5 mm Package – Through-hole Quantity – 50 pieces Ideal For Automatic night lights and street lighting controllers Light-following or light-avoiding robots Ambient light detection for displays and dashboards Educational electronics and Arduino/Raspberry Pi projects

**Product Type:** physical
