Great addition to my sensor kit
Fast shipping and the product arrived well-packaged. Tested it immediately with a simple sketch, and it detected shadow and light instantly. Will definitely buy more if needed.

Good quality, clear instructions needed
The hardware is solid and responds quickly to light changes. I wish it came with a printed pinout diagram, but I found the info online easily. Works great for my automatic night light build.

Solid component for the price
Does exactly what it says. The LM393 comparator is reliable. Only minor issue is the header pins weren't pre-soldered, but that's standard for these modules. Highly recommended.

Easy to use for beginners
As someone new to electronics, I found this module very forgiving. Connecting it was straightforward, and the onboard LED indicator helps visualize when the threshold is triggered.

Perfect for my Arduino project
This sensor module works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The sensitivity adjustment potentiometer makes it very easy to calibrate for different lighting conditions. Great value for the price.

Reliable and sensitive
I bought five of these for a robotics project. All of them performed consistently. The digital output is clean, and the analog output provides good granularity for reading light levels.
Q: What is the maximum current this module draws?
A: Under normal operating conditions with the indicator LED on, the module typically draws around 10-15mA. If you need to save power, the indicator LED can be disabled by removing its resistor.
Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity of the sensor?
A: There is a blue potentiometer on the board. Use a small screwdriver to turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise while exposing the sensor to your target light level until the onboard indicator LED behaves as desired.
Q: Does this module provide both analog and digital output?
A: Yes, this 4-pin module provides both a Digital Output (DO) which acts as a switch based on your threshold setting, and an Analog Output (AO) which gives a variable voltage corresponding to light intensity.
Q: Is the photoresistor replaceable if it gets damaged?
A: The photoresistor is soldered onto the PCB. While it is technically possible to desolder and replace it with a standard GL5528 type, it requires soldering skills. We recommend handling with care to avoid damage.
Q: Can I connect this directly to a 3.3V microcontroller like ESP8266?
A: Absolutely. The module operates within a 3.3V to 5V range, making it fully compatible with 3.3V logic systems like the ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.
