Perfect for Arduino Projects
Works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The I2C connection is simple and the library support is excellent.

Good sensor, pins are tight
Accuracy is good for the price. The header pins were a bit tight to solder but overall a solid module.

Needs clear documentation
The sensor works but finding the right library took some time. Would benefit from a wiki link.

Great value for money
Bought five of these for home automation. All working perfectly with ESP8266.
Q: What is the default I2C address?
A: The default address is typically 0x23, but can be changed to 0x5C.
Q: Which library should I use?
A: We recommend the standard BH1750 Arduino library available in the manager.
Q: Does it work with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, it connects via the GPIO I2C pins on Raspberry Pi models.
Q: Is this compatible with 5V logic?
A: Yes, it operates between 3.3V and 5V.
Q: Can I use this outdoors?
A: It is not waterproof. You need an enclosure for outdoor use.
