Product description
Lux Light Sensor module with MAX44009 for measuring ambient light in lux. The sensor has a 22-bit dynamic range from 0.045 lux to 188,000 lux and can automatically adjust the measurement range according to the light level. Communication is via Qwiic (I²C).
The module has an integrated 3.3 V regulator and level shifting, allowing it to be used with microcontrollers with 3.3 V or 5 V supply voltage and logic levels. It is also equipped with Qwiic connectors for I²C. Adafruit provides libraries for Arduino and CircuitPython.
