The Waterproof Digital Ambient Light Sensor is a robust and versatile device designed to measure light intensity across a wide range of environments, from 0 to 200,000 Lux. Utilizing the Modbus-RTU 485 communication protocol and powered by a DC 5-32V wide voltage supply, it ensures seamless integration with systems like the Arduino via compatible expansion boards.
With an IP68 waterproof rating, the sensor can withstand complete submersion, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, including weather stations, greenhouses, outdoor lighting, and automotive smart lights. Its high accuracy (±5%), broad measurement range, and durable construction make it a reliable solution for demanding environments.
IP68 Waterproof Design
The sensor is fully waterproof, meeting the IP68 standard, and can be submerged in water without damage. This makes it suitable for use in harsh outdoor environments, such as weather stations, greenhouses, and automotive applications, ensuring consistent performance in wet or humid conditions.
Wide Range and High Accuracy
With a measurement range of 0-200,000 Lux and a resolution of 0.01 Lux, the sensor provides precise light intensity readings across diverse scenarios, from dim indoor settings to bright outdoor environments. Its ±5% accuracy ensures reliable data for critical applications like plant growth monitoring and lighting control.
Easy Integration and Compatibility
The sensor supports the Modbus-RTU 485 protocol and can be easily connected to Arduino and other microcontroller platforms using expansion boards like the TTL to RS485 module or the Gravity: Active Isolated RS485 to UART Signal Adapter. Its simple wiring and wide voltage power supply (DC 5-32V) make it user-friendly and adaptable to various setups.
Applications:
- Weather Stations: Monitor ambient light for accurate weather data collection.
- Greenhouses: Optimize plant growth by measuring light intensity in vegetable and flower cultivation.
- Outdoor Lighting: Automate streetlights or garden lighting based on ambient light levels.
- Automotive Smart Lights: Enhance vehicle safety with adaptive lighting systems.
- Factory Lighting: Ensure optimal lighting conditions in industrial workshops.
