Adafruit 1980 TSL2591 High Dynamic Range Digital Light Sensor

Adafruit Digital Infra-red / Visible Light Sensors with I2C, 5V ready – Adafruit 1980, The Adafruit TSL2591 High Dynamic Range Digital Light Sensors can be re-configured to detect illuminance from 188 µLux to 88,000 Lux on the fly. Containing two sensors, a full spectrum sensor which includes the human visible and infra-red wavelengths, and an infra-red sensor, the boards allow you to calculate the illuminance in Lux. This is handy for controlling LCD brightness according to ambient conditions or controlling exposure in photographic applications. They have a fixed I2C address so you can only have 1 x sensor attached to your microcontroller. They have 3.3V regulators and level shifters making them 3 to 5V compatible. Ideal for low power or battery powered applications, they have a very low current draw, only 0.4mA when actively sensing and 5µA in sleep mode.Supplied as a fully assembled and tested board plus a strip of 01.in. header pins for you to solder on as required.
