Overview

When the future is dazzlingly-bright, this ultra-high-range luminosity sensor will help you

measure it. The TSL2591 luminosity sensor is an advanced digital light sensor, ideal for use

in a wide range of light situations. Compared to low cost CdS cells, this sensor is more

precise, allowing for exact lux calculations and can be configured for different gain/timing

ranges to detect light ranges from up to 188uLux up to 88,000 Lux on the fly.

The best part of this sensor is that it contains both infrared and full spectrum

dio des! That means you can separately measure infrared, full-spectrum or human-visible

light. Most sensors can only detect one or the other, which does not accurately represent

what human eyes see (since we cannot perceive the IR light that is detected by most photo

diodes)
