SMD Type Light Sensor 3528C-50 Replace Photoresistor
A light sensor is a device that allows a robot to measure the amount of light in the environment. It is a passive device, meaning it does not emit any light but only receives it. It converts the light into an electrical signal that can be processed by the robot. Light sensors are also called photoelectric devices or photo sensors, because they use the photoelectric effect to transform light (photons) into electricity (electrons).
