TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor Module

The TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor Module measures the brightness of the surrounding light with a phototransistor tuned to the sensitivity of the human eye. It outputs an analog voltage that rises with light level, so you only need one analog pin on an Arduino or ESP32 to read it, with no library required.

TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor Module – Key Features

• Sensor: Vishay TEMT6000X01 phototransistor
• Spectral response similar to the human eye (peak about 570nm)
• Analog voltage output
• Supply voltage: 3.3V–5V
• 3 pins: S (signal), G (GND), V (VCC)
• Compact board with mounting hole

Applications

Makers, students and engineers use it in projects such as:

• Automatic street and garden lights
• Display and LED brightness control
• Day/night detection in smart homes
• Plant growth and greenhouse monitoring
• Robotics light following

Usage Tips

Connect S to an analog input and read it with analogRead; average several readings for stable values. Point the sensor toward the light source and avoid placing it right next to LEDs on your own board.
