Description
5MM 5537 LDR Photosensitive Resistor
The 5MM 5537 LDR Sensor is a high-quality component designed for building an efficient ldr circuit. This Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), also known as a photoresistor, changes its resistance depending on the intensity of ambient light. As brightness increases, resistance decreases — making it ideal for automation systems like outdoor lighting, solar-powered devices, and brightness-controlled applications. The 5537 LDR sensor performs exceptionally well in both bright and dark environments. In other words, it enables precise light detection and real-time response in various electronic projects. Moreover, this sensor is widely used by students, engineers, and hobbyists for learning and practical implementations due to its simplicity and low ldr sensor price. Built using high-quality Cadmium Sulphide (CdS) photo-conductive cells, the sensor mimics the spectral response of the human eye. Therefore, as the light intensity rises, resistance drops proportionally. This makes it suitable for use in light-sensing applications such as smoke detection, automatic lighting control, counting devices, and security systems. In short, this compact, reliable, and affordable sensor is a must-have for any light-based automation project.Technical Details
