Good sensor, slight wiring confusion

The module works well but the pinout wasn't clearly labeled on the back. Once figured out, it detects light changes instantly.

Potentiometer feels fragile

The sensor works but the adjustment knob feels like it might break if turned too hard. Functionality is okay though.
