Accurate readings
I compared this against a professional lux meter and the correlation is impressive for the price point. Ideal for DIY smart home automation systems.

Excellent value
Can't beat the price for this level of quality. I bought five for various sensors around the house and they all perform identically.

Perfect for Arduino Projects
This module works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The analog output is smooth and reacts quickly to changes in room lighting. Great for building an automatic night light.

Good sensitivity, easy to wire
Very sensitive to visible light as advertised. The breakout board makes it easy to breadboard without soldering the tiny SMD component directly. Lost one star because the pin spacing is slightly tight for some jumper wires.

Solid performance
Does exactly what it says on the tin. The response curve matches the human eye well. Just make sure you use a stable voltage reference for your ADC for best results.

Great for university projects
Used this for my final year embedded systems project. It provided consistent data logs over several weeks of testing. Highly recommend for students.
Q: What is the distance range for detection?
A: As an ambient light sensor, it measures illuminance (lux) falling on the sensor surface rather than detecting objects at a specific distance. It responds to overall environmental brightness.
Q: Can this be used outdoors?
A: While the sensor itself has a wide operating temperature range, the breakout board is not weatherproof. For outdoor use, please house it in a waterproof enclosure with a translucent window.
Q: Is this module compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers like the ESP32?
A: Yes, the TEMT6000 operates comfortably within the 2.7V to 5.5V range, making it fully compatible with 3.3V logic systems like the ESP32 or Raspberry Pi Pico.
Q: Do I need any external resistors to use this breakout board?
A: No, the breakout board includes the necessary circuitry. You only need to connect VCC, GND, and the SIG (signal) pin to your microcontroller's analog input.
Q: Does this sensor detect infrared (IR) light?
A: No, the TEMT6000 is specifically filtered to match the spectral sensitivity of the human eye, meaning it primarily detects visible light and rejects most IR and UV radiation.
