Needs Calibration
Works but output varies with temperature. Needs calibration for precise lux measurements in scientific projects.

Good sensitivity
Very sensitive to light changes. Had to adjust code slightly to smooth out the readings, but overall good value.

Reliable Sensor
Using this for a line follower robot light detection. Solid performance and consistent output voltage.
Q: Can I use this with a Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, but you need an external ADC since Raspberry Pi GPIO pins do not support analog input natively.
Q: Is this output digital or analog?
A: This module provides an analog output voltage proportional to the light intensity detected.
Q: Is this sensor waterproof for outdoor use?
A: No, the component and PCB are not waterproof. You should house it in a protective enclosure for outdoor use.
Q: What is the light detection range?
A: It detects visible light roughly between 450nm to 650nm, peaking around green light at 570nm.
Q: What voltage should I supply to this module?
A: It operates between 2.7V and 5.5V. 5V is the standard supply voltage for most microcontroller projects.
