Description

This sensor is very versatile with applications
in many areas of the natural sciences. It can
be used to study photosynthesis in Biology,
to study light-emitting chemical reactions in
Chemistry, to study the effect of changing
voltage on a light-bulb’s output in Physics and
more. With three ranges, it can be used in low
light environments such as in a classroom, or
high light environments as in daylight outdoors.
It measures Illumination. With both fast and
slow modes, it can be used to measure fast light
changes such as those produced by light bulbs
connected to an AC supply, as well as the near
steady levels outside on a sunny day. The light
sensor in located in a plastic box just behind an
access hole.
