Here comes DFRobot's new Analog Ambient Light Sensor. Brand new design and much more convenient to use.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $4.30 (inc GST) — $3.91 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 6+ $3.71 (exc GST) · 12+ $3.55 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR0026:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DFR0026:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Introduction

 Here comes DFRobot's new Analog Ambient Light Sensor. Brand new design and much more convenient to use.This module help you to detect the light density and reflect the analog voltage signal back to Arduino controller. You can set the threshold of voltage level to trig other unit on Arduino project. We also use the enviromental PT550 light sensor and it is more sensitive to light than normal one. Place check following improvement we made. We always devote to bring better user experience. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/remote_images/light1_DV1oas.jpg) This sensor can capture little change of light!! ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/remote_images/_DSC0372_s3aBLO.jpg) Notice:The new version of analog sensor port pin mapping has been changed as the following two features.Please check [the tips for changing sensor cable pin mapping](https://www.dfrobot.com/blog-191.html) while using the I/O Expansion shield. We will continue to update. For the inconvenience caused, please understand. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/remote_images/pin%20mapping%20comparison_DTZ5Ws.jpg) Improvement List - Wide voltage range from 3.3V to 5V
- Standard assembling structure (two 3mm holes with multiple of 5cm as interval)
