BH1750 Digital Ambient Light Sensor Module
Measurement Range: 1–65,535 Lux
Product Description
BH1750 Digital Light Sensor Module is a compact ambient light sensor designed for accurate measurement of illumination intensity in Lux (lx). It uses the BH1750 digital light sensor IC and communicates with microcontrollers through the I²C interface, making it easy to integrate into Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, and other embedded systems.
Unlike a conventional LDR, the GY-302 provides a digital Lux reading, eliminating the need for an external analog-to-digital conversion circuit and simplifying software development.
The module includes convenient VCC, GND, SCL, SDA, and ADDR pins and is suitable for automatic brightness control, smart lighting, IoT devices, robotics, display systems, and environmental monitoring applications.
