Light sensors, also known as photodetectors, detect the presence or absence of light, and the intensity of the light. These convert light energy into an electrical signal, which can then be analyzed or used to trigger an action. Our optical sensing ranges from 312uLux to 167kLux enabling use in a variety of lighting conditions including dim, bright, and behind covered material. With an emphasis on automatic display brightness, LED brightness, and color adjustment applications, our latest light sensors are designed to. A brightness sensor is a photoelectric device that transforms the detected light energy (photons) into electrical energy (electrons). Designed with a high-quality double-sided PCB with power indication.
