LaskaKit BH1750 Light intensity sensor

Product detailed description

Cheap but accurate module with BH1750 ambient light sensor. The BH1750 measures the illumination and the 16-bit result can be read out via the I2C bus. It is connected to our standard I2C connector, which we called uSup (what is it?).
There are two of these connectors for easy connection of other sensors. Which ones? For example, the SCD41 sensor for CO2, temperature and humidity measurement, the SHT41 temperature and humidity sensor and the BME280 pressure, temperature and humidity sensor, the RTC Real Time Clock with DS3231 or the OLED display with a size of 1.3" and a resolution of 128x64px.

The BH1750 has a very wide measuring range with high accuracy, measuring from 1 - 65535 lx. Typical module supply voltage is from 2.4 V - 3.6 V with a maximum power consumption of 1 uA in off mode. Typical sensor consumption is then typically 120 uA for a measured illumination of 100 lx.

You can connect it not only to our development kits such as the universal Meteo Mini with solar panel connection, the easy-to-program ESP32-DEVKit, the very economical and small ESP32-C3 LPKit, the ESPInk with ESP32 and large 4.2" ePaper or the popular kit with ESP32 and 3.5" TFT display.

Finally, it is not necessary to use only our boards - you can use almost any Arduinosingle-board computer Rock Pi or Raspberry Pior other development kits with an I2C bus.

Remark:

• This product is not a standalone functional unit and may require professional installation.
• Product images are for illustration purposes only and may sometimes differ from the actual appearance of the item. However, this does not change its basic properties.
