A light-dependent resistor wired to an LM393 comparator, so instead of a raw brightness reading you get a clean on/off signal that flips when the light crosses a level you set with the blue trimmer. Note the three pins - DO, GND, VCC: this is the digital-threshold version with no analog output, so it is for dusk-to-dawn switching, break-beam detection and light-triggered alarms rather than for measuring how bright a room is.

Key features

  • Three pins only: DO, GND, VCC - digital output
  • Threshold set with the onboard trimmer
  • LM393 comparator with an LDR sensing element
  • Power and output LEDs make setting up easy
  • For dusk-to-dawn switching and light-triggered alarms
  • No analog output - use a bare LDR if you need levels
