Perfect for Arduino projects
This module works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The analog output is stable and easy to read. Great for building an automatic night light.

Solid component
Works well for line following robots where ambient light compensation is needed. The form factor is compact enough for small chassis.

Accurate visible light detection
I used this to measure lux levels in my greenhouse. The response matches the datasheet specifications closely. Highly recommended for environmental monitoring.

Good value, simple setup
Very straightforward to integrate. The sensitivity is good for indoor lighting conditions. I wish it came with header pins soldered, but that's a minor issue.

Reliable and cheap
Bought five of these for a smart home project. All of them performed consistently. No dead pixels or erratic readings.

Great for learning sensors
As a beginner, this was easy to wire up and code. Plenty of tutorials online specifically for the TEMT6000 chip used on this board.
Q: Are the header pins included and pre-soldered?
A: The module typically comes with unsoldered header pins included in the package, allowing you to solder them yourself or use jumper wires directly.
Q: What is the maximum distance this sensor can detect light?
A: This is an ambient light sensor, not a proximity sensor. It measures the intensity of light falling directly on the sensor surface, not distance to a light source.
Q: Does this module work with 3.3V logic levels?
A: Yes, the module operates comfortably between 3.3V and 5V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.
Q: How do I convert the analog reading to Lux?
A: You need to map the analog voltage value using the formula provided in the TEMT6000 datasheet, which relates voltage to illuminance in Lux based on your specific supply voltage.
Q: Can I use this to detect infrared light from a TV remote?
A: No, the TEMT6000 is designed specifically for the visible light spectrum. It will not reliably detect infrared signals.
