Power Rating: Operates at 3.3V–5V DC – low power consumption suitable for continuous light detection.
Type: GL5516 Photoresistor (LDR – Light Dependent Resistor) – changes its resistance based on the intensity of ambient light.
Sensitivity Range: Highly responsive to visible light with resistance varying from several kilo-ohms in brightness to mega-ohms in darkness.
Operation: Decreases resistance as light intensity increases, making it easy to measure light levels using simple analog inputs.
Compatibility: Works with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller platforms for light-sensing applications.
Build Quality: Compact, durable sensor with a high-quality cadmium sulfide (CdS) cell for long-lasting performance.
Response Time: Provides fast and stable response to changing light conditions.
Applications: Ideal for automatic street lights, light intensity meters, smart lamps, solar tracking systems, and ambient light detection projects.
