Review on πŸ”† Enhanced Light Intensity Sensor Module with I2C Interface by NOYITO - Pack of 2 by Elvis Kimbro

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Don't forget to set the I2C address

They work great. The range appears to be logarithmic (as opposed to linear), with low light values changing slowly and bright light increasing values very quickly. They have a selectable I2C address 0x4a or 0x4b. However, note that the address on the modules I received was NOT set by the manufacturer. So you'll have to solder the jumpers on the board one way or another, otherwise the address is non-deterministic and may change between uses. (I learned this the hard way). The sensors work well when connected to a Raspberry Pi and using the Python driver from the Control Everything community on Github.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price
