Great for Arduino projects
Works perfectly with my Uno. Easy to adjust sensitivity using the potentiometer. Included wires were a nice touch.

Good value
Works well for the price. Wires could be slightly longer but overall satisfied with the performance.

Beginner friendly
Clear labeling on the board helped me learn analog inputs. Great starter component for students.

Reliable light sensor
Used it for a night light project. Very responsive to changes in room lighting. Digital output is crisp.

Solid component
One module was slightly loose in the header but works fine after tightening. Good sensitivity range.
Q: Is example code included in the package?
A: No physical code is included, but many free examples exist online for Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
Q: Can I use this sensor outdoors?
A: It is not waterproof. Please enclose it in a protective case for outdoor use.
Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity threshold?
A: Use a small screwdriver to turn the blue potentiometer on the board until the LED indicator behaves as desired.
Q: What is the difference between 3-pin and 4-pin versions?
A: The 4-pin typically separates AO and DO clearly, while 3-pin may share ground differently. Both function similarly.
Q: Does this work with 3.3V logic boards like ESP32?
A: Yes, it operates comfortably between 3.3V and 5V DC.
