Great for Arduino
Works perfectly with standard libraries. Accurate readings compared to my phone light meter app.

Easy to integrate
Used for a school project. Very easy to set up with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.

Compact and useful
Good module but pins are close together. Works well otherwise for my lighting project.

Needs pull-up resistors
Had noise issues until I added external resistors. Works now but documentation was sparse.

Reliable sensor
Bought multiple units. All consistent. Good for home automation systems.
Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use?
A: Only if placed in a waterproof enclosure.
Q: Which Arduino library is best?
A: Try the BH1750 library by Christophe Bedrix.
Q: Does it work with 5V logic?
A: Yes it supports 3.3V to 5V operating voltage.
Q: Can I use long wires?
A: Keep I2C lines short under 30cm for stability.
Q: What is the default I2C address?
A: Usually 0x23 but can be changed to 0x5C.
