A photoresistor or photocell is a light-controlled variable resistor.The resistance of a photoresistor decreases with increasing incident light intensity
A photoresistor is also called light-dependent resistor (LDR), which can be applied in light-sensitive detector circuits, and light- and dark-activated switching circuits
This is a very small light sensor and makes great ambient light triggers (when light in the room turns on, do something)
Photoresistor is a resistor which made of semi-conductor material, and the conductance changes with luminance variation
Yeah, this LDR can extend your projects at you limits. Imagine a system where the light of your house simply switch on / off depending on the sun light!
Description: The GL5528 is a photoresistor or light-dependent resistor (LDR) or photocell which is a light-controlled variable resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor decreases with increasing incident light intensity; in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity. A photoresistor can be applied in light-sensitive detector circuits, and light and dark activated switching circuits. Photoresistor is a resistor which made of semi-conductor material, and the conductance changes with luminance variation.The photoresistor can be manufactured with different figures and illuminated area based on this characteristic(lux levels). Features -the resistance varied corresponding to light exposure. -Very good Light Dependent Resistor Photoresistor -5MM Light Dependent Resistor Photoresistor Specification: Model: GL5528 LDR Maximum voltage: 150V, DC Maximum wattage: 100mW Operating temperature:-30°C ~ 70°C Spectral peak: 540nm Bright resistance (10Lux): 10K- 20K ohm Dark resistance: 1M ohm Sensitivity: 0.8 Material: Carbon Shape: cylindrical Response time: 20ms (Up), 30ms (Down) Size:5 x 3mm/0.2 x 0.12" Application Camera automatic photometry Photoelectric control Indoor ray control Annunciator Industrial control Light control switch Light control lamps Electronic toy burglar alarm sun-up/sun-down indicator sun tracking door open alarm Package included: 20 x Photoresistor GL5528
