Decent but basic
It works, but the documentation was minimal. Had to look up wiring online. Good for beginners though.

Good value
Solid build quality. Took a little time to get the sensitivity right for outdoor use, but works great indoors.

Great for Smart Car Kits
Bought this for a light seeking car project. Response time is quick and voltage levels are stable.
5 FAQ
Q: Is the output analog or digital?
A: This module provides a digital output. For analog, read the LDR directly with an ADC.
Q: Does it come with jumper wires?
A: No, the module is sold separately. Wires are not included in this package.
Q: Can it handle 12V input?
A: No, maximum input is 5V. Higher voltage may damage the LM393 chip.
Q: What is the detection range?
A: It detects ambient light intensity changes rather than distance. Range depends on light source.
Q: Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, it works with 3.3V logic. Ensure proper GPIO mapping.
