Accurate Readings
Used this for a home automation light control system. It responds quickly to changes in ambient light.

Reliable for Students
Bulk ordered for our workshop. All modules worked out of the box with standard libraries.

Good Sensor, Small Pins
The sensor itself is accurate, but the pins are quite small for hand soldering. Need a steady hand.

Good Value
Does the job for the price. Documentation could be better but community support fills the gaps.
Q: Which library do you recommend?
A: The Adafruit TSL2561 library or generic Wire.h library works well with this module.
Q: Can it measure UV light intensity?
A: No, this sensor measures visible light illuminance only, not UV radiation.
Q: Is this compatible with 5V Arduino boards?
A: Yes, but we recommend using a logic level shifter for safe I2C communication.
Q: Is this sensor waterproof?
A: No, this module is designed for indoor use only and is not water-resistant.
Q: What is the default I2C address?
A: The default I2C address is typically 0x39, but please verify with the datasheet.
