Perfect for Arduino projects

This sensor module works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The TTL output makes it very easy to read light levels without complex analog conversion. Highly recommended for DIY automation.

Solid performance

Used this for a greenhouse monitoring system. It handles humidity well and provides consistent digital signals. Deducting one star because the documentation could be more detailed.

Exceeded expectations

Very sensitive and accurate. I integrated it into a camera rig for automatic exposure adjustment, and it performs better than some expensive commercial sensors I've used before.

Reliable and fast response

I tested this against a professional lux meter and the readings were surprisingly close. The response time is instant, which is great for triggering lights immediately when it gets dark.

Great value for money

For the price, you can't beat the build quality. The PCB is sturdy, and the component placement looks professional. Works exactly as described in the datasheet.

Good precision, compact size

The ball lens design really helps in capturing ambient light from multiple angles. It's accurate enough for my smart lamp project. Only wish the pin headers were pre-soldered.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the maximum current consumption of this module?

A: The module typically consumes less than 5mA during operation, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.

Q: Is there a potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity threshold?

A: Yes, there is a small blue trimmer potentiometer on the board that allows you to manually adjust the light intensity threshold for the digital output trigger.

Q: Is this module compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers like ESP32?

A: Yes, the module operates comfortably within the 3.3V to 5V range, making it fully compatible with ESP32, ESP8266, and 3.3V Arduino boards.

Q: Can this sensor be used outdoors?

A: While the electronic components are robust, the PCB itself is not waterproof. For outdoor use, we recommend placing it inside a weatherproof enclosure with a transparent cover.

Q: Does the digital output provide PWM or just HIGH/LOW states?

A: This specific model provides a standard HIGH/LOW digital signal based on a threshold. If you need variable light intensity values, please check our analog output version of this sensor.
