Perfect for Arduino projects
This sensor module works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The analog output is stable and responds quickly to changes in room lighting. Great value for the price.

Good sensitivity, easy to wire
Very sensitive to light changes. I used it for a automatic night light project. The only reason for 4 stars is that the pin headers were slightly loose, but easily fixed with solder.

Excellent for learning sensors
Bought this for a university robotics assignment. It provided consistent data readings and was very easy to integrate into our code. Highly recommended for students.

Fast shipping and great product
Arrived earlier than expected. The module is well-built and the PCB quality looks professional. Immediately got it working with a Raspberry Pi ADC setup.

Works well for ambient light
Great for measuring general room brightness. It struggles a bit with very rapid flashing lights due to the integration time, but for steady state measurement, it is perfect.

Reliable and compact
The form factor is small enough to fit into tight enclosures. The monolithic design seems robust. I've tested it under various lighting conditions and it performs as expected.
Q: Can this detect infrared remote control signals?
A: While it has sensitivity in the near-infrared range, it is designed for ambient light intensity. It is not optimized for decoding high-frequency IR remote signals.
Q: How do I calibrate the sensor for lux measurements?
A: The output is linear with light intensity. You can map the analog reading to lux using a reference light meter and a simple linear equation in your code.
Q: Is there a digital output version available?
A: This specific model (OPT101/TEMT6000 based) provides an analog voltage output. For digital output, please check our catalog for modules with built-in comparators.
Q: What is the maximum current consumption of this sensor?
A: The typical supply current is approximately 0.6mA at 5V, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.
Q: Does this module work directly with 3.3V logic systems like ESP32?
A: Yes, the operating voltage range is 2.7V to 5.5V, so it is fully compatible with 3.3V systems without needing a level shifter.
