## Description

The Adafruit TSL2591 is an ultra-high-range digital light sensor with a massive 600,000,000:1 dynamic range. It features both infrared and full-spectrum photodiodes, allowing you to separately measure infrared, full-spectrum, or human-visible light for accurate lux calculations across an enormous range from 188 µLux to 88,000 Lux. An upgrade from the TSL2561, the TSL2591 offers a wider measurement range and configurable gain/timing settings. It communicates over I2C with a built-in ADC, so no analog pins are needed. Power consumption is extremely low — about 0.4mA when sensing and less than 5µA in power-down mode, making it ideal for battery-powered data logging. Key Features 600,000,000:1 Dynamic Range – Exceptional range from 188 µLux to 88,000 Lux Dual Photodiodes – Separate infrared and full-spectrum diodes for accurate human-visible light measurement Configurable Gain and Timing – Adapt to different lighting conditions on the fly I2C Interface – Digital output with built-in ADC, no analog pins needed Ultra-Low Power – ~0.4mA active, <5µA in power-down mode Precise Lux Calculation – Library-supported conversion from raw readings to calibrated lux values Note: Unlike the TSL2561, the TSL2591 has a fixed I2C address — only one sensor can be used per I2C bus. Ideal For High dynamic range light measurement Low-power environmental data logging Display brightness auto-adjustment Greenhouse and agricultural light monitoring Astronomy and low-light sensing applications Package Contents 1× Adafruit TSL2591 High Dynamic Range Digital Light Sensor Breakout Resources Adafruit TSL2591 Learning Guide (Wiring, Code & Lux Calculation)
