An ultra-fast way to measure the light level, with a spectral response that closely emulates the human eye. Detects upto 1,000 Lux (5 mW/cm2) within a 120°-wide cone field of view. Check the Flash sensor for a narrow field of view.
Application examples
- Measure room or ambient lightning.
- Put fish in a bowl with lights below and let the fish shadows play music (fish not included).
- Combine with the Hot, Air and Humid sensors to create a meteorological station. Add soil Moisture sensors and Switches to control valves for watering your plants.
