TMET6000 Ambient Light Detection Module

SKU: SEN0043

This module uses a special ambient light detector（TMET6000）with spectral response that closely emulates the human eye. It help you to to detect the light density and reflect the analog voltage signal back to Arduino controller. You can set the threshold of voltage level to trig other unit on Arduino project.

    FAQ

    • The unit of the output from these sensors is? How can I convert it to LUX?

      Well, it is only a simple analog sensor that could show you the relationship of the light intensity (within its detect range) and voltage (0-5V). If you want to transfer the voltage to unit in LUX, then well, it requires that you have a commercial Light Intensity Meter like this that can display LUX info, then you can match the readings to the sensor's analog reading, then you could a map to describe the relationship of voltage and ambient light density.
