Description
5MM 5537 Light Dependent Resistor Sensor
The 5MM 5537 light dependent resistor sensor is a high-quality component designed for responsive brightness detection, working seamlessly in an ldr circuit and offering great compatibility with arduino and ldr learning projects. As ambient illumination increases, resistance decreases, enabling smooth automation for outdoor lights, solar devices, and brightness controls. Built with Cadmium Sulphide (CdS) cells, this compact light dependent resistor sensor mimics the spectral behavior of the human eye, providing accurate feedback for both hobby and professional use. Because of its affordability and performance, it is widely adopted in smoke detection, security triggers, and other real-time monitoring solutions.Technical Details of light dependent resistor sensor
