Compact size
Fits easily into my small enclosure project. The PCB is well made and the soldering points are clear.

Good value
Works well for the price. Just note that you need to solder the header pins yourself if they aren't pre-attached.

Fast response
Noticed immediate changes in light levels when testing automation scripts. No noticeable lag.

Accurate readings
Measured lux levels consistently across different lighting conditions. Very stable output without much noise.
Q: Is the pinout standard across batches?
A: Yes, the pins are typically arranged as VCC, GND, and OUT. Please check the silkscreen on your board to confirm.
Q: Does this work with 3.3V logic boards?
A: Yes, the module operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, so it is compatible with 3.3V systems like ESP32 or Raspberry Pi.
Q: What library should I use for this?
A: No specific library is needed. You can read the output pin using standard analog read functions in your IDE.
Q: Can it measure direct sunlight?
A: It can detect sunlight, but direct exposure to intense sun may saturate the output. Indirect measurement is recommended.
Q: Is there a digital output available?
A: No, this specific module provides only an analog voltage output proportional to light intensity.
