Description
Digital Light Sensor Photosensitive Resistor LDR Module
This is a high-quality photosensitive sensor module/light module that detects the photosensitive resistor for Arduino. The photoresistor module detects light intensity. As the intensity of light on the photoresistor increases, the resistance of the photoresistor decreases. A built-in 10k resistor on the module can be used to build a divider circuit for measuring changes in light intensity from the photoresistor. A device such as an Arduino can be used to read the light intensity using an analog input pin.Photo Resistor Module Connections to Arduino: Pin 1 (S) of the module connects to an Arduino analog input pin.

Technical Details
- Model Type: Light Dependent Resistor Module
- Resistance (Ohm): 20MΩ in full darkness, 80 Ohms in full light
- Weight (g): 1
Features
- The photosensitive device, its photocurrent increases with the applied voltage.
- The temperature coefficient: Photoresistors are influenced by temperature. At low temperatures, photoresistors have higher sensitivity, whereas at high temperatures, their sensitivity is lower.
- Rated power: Refers to the rated power for a certain photoresistor line, indicating the maximum power consumed when the temperature rises. At high temperatures, its power consumption is reduced.
- According to the spectral characteristics of the photoresistor, there are three types:
- Ultraviolet photosensitive resistance
- Infrared light-sensitive resistors
- Visible photosensitive resistance
Applications :
- Light Level Detection: Used to detect ambient light levels for automatic lighting control systems.
- Solar Tracking: Applied in solar panels to track the sun's position for maximum energy absorption.
- Automatic Brightness Control: Adjusts screen brightness based on surrounding light conditions in devices like smartphones or laptops.
- Light-based Alarm Systems: Used in security systems to detect changes in light, triggering alarms for intrusions.
- Photography and Camera Systems: Monitors light levels for automatic exposure adjustments.
- Consumer Electronics: Integrated into devices like lamps or smart home systems to control lights based on the time of day or environmental light conditions.
