The more light that hits the sensor, the stronger the base bias, producing an analog output proportional to the ambient light level. Its spectral response is closely matched to the human eye, making it ideal for visible light detection.\n\nSimple to use with just an analog input — connect to any microcontroller's ADC pin to get a light level reading. No special libraries or digital protocols required.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nAnalog Output – Simple connection to any ADC pin, no libraries needed\n\nNPN Phototransistor – Output current proportional to ambient light intensity\n\nHuman Eye Response – Spectral sensitivity matched to visible light perception\n\nCompact Package – Small surface-mount form factor\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nSensor Type – NPN phototransistor\n\nPart Number – TEMT6000x01\n\nOutput – Analog (current proportional to light)\n\nSpectral Response – Visible light, matched to human eye\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nAmbient light level detection\nAutomatic display brightness adjustment\nLight-triggered projects and automation\nArduino and microcontroller prototyping\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× TEMT6000x01 Ambient Light Sensor\n","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":10670,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-COM-08348","price":3.43,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":446,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
