Part 1 covered ambient light sensor basics and key characteristics. The choice of which ambient light sensor is best for an application is up to the end-user. The digital light sensor approach is ...

Ambient light sensors (ALSs) are photodetectors that approximate the human eye’s response to light intensity under a variety of lighting conditions and through different attenuation materials. They’re ...

IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

The human environment is increasingly controlled by environmental sensors, which represent the true sentinels of the world. They allow us to monitor and measure the different physical properties of ...

What are the most common types of light sensors? Two of the most common light sensors are phototransistors and positive-intrinsic-negative (pin) photodiodes. Both generate signals that vary with ...

Panasonic Industry has introduced a new passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor featuring a flat lens design, marking the first product to incorporate the company’s PaPIRs+ sensing technology.

Whether you’re looking for added security at home or easier navigation at night, motion-sensor lights can provide a boost of visibility whenever you need it. The best outdoor motion-sensor lights have ...
