Gravity I2C Ambient Light Sensor IP68

The Gravity: I2C IP68 Waterproof Ambient Light Sensor is a digital sensor designed for precise measurements of light intensity in the range of 1-65535lx. It is waterproof and features a light noise suppression function as well as a simple Gravity interface with I2C communication. This sensor can be used with main controllers such as Arduino UNO, providing stable and reliable performance. Due to its IP68 protection, the sensor can be completely submerged in water without taking damage. Thus, it is ideal for use in outdoor projects, for example in greenhouses, smart car lights, and weather stations, which require reliable light measurement in harsh environments.
