TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor Module
Precision Visible Light Sensing Matched to Human Perception
Upgrade your light-sensing projects with the TEMT6000 ambient light sensor module. Designed around an NPN phototransistor, this sensor mimics the human eye's natural spectral response—peaking around 570nm—while ignoring infrared interference. Whether you're building smart home lighting, outdoor solar trackers, or auto-dimming displays, the TEMT6000 delivers reliable, analog illuminance readings across typical indoor and outdoor ambient light levels.
Human-Eye Spectral Response: Filters out IR and UV to measure visible light accurately.
Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Works seamlessly with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi Pico.
Simple Analog Output: Direct voltage read proportional to surrounding light level.
Compact Breakout Form Factor: Standard 3-pin layout (VCC, GND, Signal) for breadboard prototyping or permanent installation.
Specifications:
Operating Voltage: 3.3V – 5V DC
Peak Wavelength: 570 nm
Output: Analog voltage (0V to VCC)
Illuminance Range: ~1 to 1,000 Lux
