SKU: LB-LS0633

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...

SKU: AF-161

CdS cells are little light sensors. As the squiggly face is exposed to more light, the resistance goes down. When its light, the resistance is about 5-10KΩ, when dark it goes up to 200KΩ. To use, connect one side of the photo cell (either one, its symmetric) to power (for example 5V) and the o...

SKU: M5-U070

The M5StickC Yun HAT is a cloud-shaped multi-sensor environmental monitoring accessory designed to mount on the M5StickC via the top socket. It integrates a temperature and humidity sensor (SHT20), barometric pressure sensor (BMP280), a photoresistor for ambient light detection, and 14 SK6812 RGB...

SKU: AF-249

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 photocell and TMP36 temperature sensor provide light level and temperature measu...

SKU: KS-KS0803

The DIY Light Controlled Phonograph Kit is a hands-on STEM project that combines woodworking assembly with basic electronics and programming. Built on a basswood structural base, this phonograph uses a photoresistor to detect light levels and an 8002B power amplifier to drive audio playback, lett...

SKU: DF-FIT0180

This type of photoresistor is made of environment-friendly materials(no Cadmium and Lead) compared with the traditional CDS photoresistor. It changes resistance depending on the amount of light it is exposed to. These little sensors can be used in light-interacting projects. SPECIFICATIONS Head ...

SKU: AF-5913 · MPN: ADA5913

The Adafruit STEMMA Reflective Photo Interrupt Sensor uses a TCRT1000 right-angle optical module to detect reflective surfaces. An onboard IR LED emits light, and when an object reflects it back to the IR phototransistor, the output pin drops from high toward 0V — making it easy to detect the pre...

SKU: AF-1849

Get started with wearable electronics using the Adafruit Gemma Sensor Starter Pack. This all-in-one kit includes a GEMMA V2 board, sewable RGB NeoPixels, multiple sensors, a rechargeable battery with charger, and everything you need to build interactive sewable projects — no soldering required. ...

SKU: EF-EF04032

The Octopus Analog Photocell Brick is a light-dependent resistor (LDR) module from the ElecFreaks Octopus Electronic Bricks series. It uses a cadmium-sulfide (CdS) photocell that changes resistance based on ambient light levels — the brighter the light, the lower the resistance. With its 3-pin co...

SKU: AF-2975

The ultimate companion kit for anyone learning electronics. The Adafruit Parts Pal packs LEDs, resistors, capacitors, transistors, sensors, switches, and prototyping essentials into a handy storage box — everything you need to dive into breadboard projects right away. Pair it with an Arduino, Ra...

SKU: SF-SEN-09299

The GP1A57HRJ00F is a slotted optical sensor (photo interrupter) with an infrared emitter on one upright and a shielded infrared detector on the other. When an object passes through the 10 mm gap between the uprights, it breaks the IR beam and the detector registers the interruption. Key Feature...

SKU: SF-BOB-09322

A simple breakout PCB for the GP1A57HR photo interrupter (also known as a photogate, photodiode, or phototransistor). This PCB has three connections for PWR, GND, and Signal.When the gate is clear, SIG will be high (>4.9V). When the gate is blocked by a finger, writing utensil, food pellet, or an...

SKU: SF-SEN-09088

This is a very small light sensor. A photocell changes (also called a photodetector, photo resistor, CdS or photoconductive cell) resistance depending on the amount of light it is exposed to. These little sensors make great ambient light triggers (when light in the room turns on, do something).Fe...
