Description

The TSL2591 is a light sensor high accuracy that will allow you to get a wide range of brightness. It is much more accurate than the LDR or photodiode through a programmable gain and can achieve an accurate measure of 188 µLux to 88000 Lux.

The other advantage of this sensor, it is that it has a sensor of infrared light and a light sensor broadband. This means that you can both measure the intensity of infrared light and also visible light. This sensor has a wide dynamic range with a 600,000,000:1 ratio.

This sensor works only i2C with a fixed address to 0 x 29.

Its consumption is extremely low with 0, 4mA in activity and less than 5µA when it is in sleep mode.

This module has a built-in regulator and an adptation of signals, which allows to use it in 3, 3V or 5V.

This product is sold assembled and tested, with a 1 X 6 not welded header connector.
