Read relative ambient brightness through an analog input using this TEMT6000 breakout. The sensor behaves as a light-controlled transistor, with increasing illumination producing a higher output voltage. It offers a small input component for projects that adjust display brightness or respond to changes between darker and brighter surroundings.

Before you buy

Review the sensor response and electrical connection; calibrated illuminance requires an appropriate conversion and setup.
