Good sensor, small footprint
Accurate readings for indoor lighting. Pins are a bit close together for breadboarding.

Works but needs care
Functionality is fine but be careful with voltage levels. Documentation was minimal.
Q: What is the I2C address?
A: The default address is usually 0x23, but some variants use 0x5C.
Q: Is waterproof?
A: No, this is an indoor electronic component and is not waterproof.
Q: Do you provide a library?
A: We recommend standard Arduino BH1750 libraries available online.
Q: Can it measure sunlight directly?
A: It can measure high lux, but direct sunlight may exceed the max range of 65535 Lux.
Q: Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, it works via I2C pins on the GPIO.
