An analog ambient light sensor based on the TEMT6000 detector, which has a spectral response closely matching the human eye with very low IR sensitivity. It outputs an analog voltage proportional to the ambient light level, making it easy to read with any Arduino or microcontroller analog input.

Part of the DFRobot Gravity series, this sensor connects via a standard 3-pin Gravity interface for plug-and-play use with compatible shields and boards. Set a voltage threshold to trigger actions based on light levels in your projects.
