3-pin LDR light sensor module with digital output, compact and adjustable, ideal for Arduino and automatic dusk switches.

SKU 8300-LIGHTSENSOR3EAN 8219671103985Item type: Assembled,

Description

This LDR light sensor module is built to measure ambient light level accurately. Perfect for Arduino projects, dusk switches or robots that home in on a light source.

The on-board LM393 comparator and the adjustable potentiometer let you set the detection threshold easily. The module gives a digital DO output that changes state when the light level rises above or falls below the threshold you set, so it can drive microcontrollers or small relays directly with a drive current of up to 15 mA.

  • Ambient light sensing with an LDR
  • Digital DO output for a high/low signal
  • Wide-range LM393 comparator
  • Adjustable potentiometer for the detection threshold
  • DO drive current up to 15 mA
  • Power LED and status LED
  • Mounting holes for easy installation
  • 3.3–5 V supply
