Ambient light sensor simulation module light intensity visible light sensors

TEMT6000 highest sensitivity sensor is 570nm, which has a wide ± 60 ° angle of half sensitivity. Although the device is very sensitive to ambient light, it can inhibit the infrared (IR) spectrum, which can provide a similar " eye " of the spectral response of greater visibility.
