Adafruit TSL2591 Digital Light Sensor with High Dynamic Range – STEMMA QT

Description Adafruit TSL2591 Digital Light Sensor with High Dynamic Range - STEMMA QT

This is the Adafruit TSL2591, a digital light sensor that is ready for the future. This sensor has an unprecedented high dynamic range. It is perfect for a wide range of lighting conditions. With a precision that surpasses ordinary CdS cells, this sensor provides precise lux values. It adapts to different light levels, from 188 uLux to a whopping 88.000 Lux.

What makes this sensor unique is the combination of infrared and full spectrum diodes. This allows you to measure infrared, full spectrum or visible light separately. This provides a more accurate image than many other sensors, which often only detect one type of light.

The TSL2591 continues where the TSL2561 stops, with a wider range. Please note that the I2C address is fixed. The sensor works with almost any microcontroller, thanks to the built-in ADC. Energy consumption is also low, ideal for energy-efficient data logging systems.

Thanks to STEMMA QT connectors, soldering is a thing of the past. Simply connect the sensor with a plug-and-play cable for direct data. A STEMMA QT adapter cable makes installation even easier. Please note, the QT cable is available separately.
