Good quality, clear instructions needed
The hardware is solid and the LM393 chip is reliable. I deducted one star because it doesn't come with a printed pinout diagram, but a quick online search solved that. Works great with 5V logic.

Reliable light detection
Using this to trigger a relay when the room gets dark. It has been running stable for three weeks now. The potentiometer allows for fine-tuning which is essential for varying ambient light conditions.

Perfect for my Arduino night light project
This sensor module works exactly as described. The sensitivity adjustment is very responsive, allowing me to set the exact lux level where the output switches. Great value for the price.

Excellent for learning electronics
Bought this for a university prototype. The digital output makes it incredibly easy to interface with microcontrollers without needing analog conversion code. Highly recommended for beginners.

Compact and effective
Small form factor fits well in tight enclosures. The soldering points are clean. Just ensure you check if you need the 3-pin or 4-pin version before ordering, as they function slightly differently regarding analog output.

Great bundle with dupont lines
Arrived quickly and the included jumper wires were a nice touch, saving me a trip to the store. The sensor reacts instantly to changes in light intensity. Very satisfied with this purchase.
Q: Can this be powered directly by a 9V battery?
A: No, the operating voltage range is 3.3V to 5V DC. Connecting it directly to a 9V battery may damage the comparator chip. Please use a voltage regulator or a 5V power source.
Q: Is the sensitivity potentiometer easy to adjust without tools?
A: The potentiometer is a small trimmer type. While it can be turned by hand, we recommend using a small non-conductive screwdriver or a plastic tuning tool for precise adjustments.
Q: Does this module provide an analog output signal?
A: The 4-pin version typically provides both digital (DO) and analog (AO) outputs, while the 3-pin version usually offers only the digital switch output. Please check the specific product variant images for pin labeling.
Q: Are the Dupont lines male-to-male or female-to-female?
A: The included free Dupont lines are typically Male-to-Female, designed to connect the sensor's male header pins directly to a breadboard or microcontroller female headers.
Q: What is the maximum current this sensor can switch?
A: This module is designed for signal detection, not high-power switching. The output pin should only connect to microcontroller inputs or low-current transistors/MOSFETs, not directly to motors or high-power lamps.
