Light Sensor Module
Overview
The Light Sensor Module provides multi-spectrum light analysis for industrial safety and process control, combining visible light, UV, IR, color and spectral sensing. It enables compliance monitoring, quality inspection, and environmental assessment across a broad range of wavelengths from ultraviolet through near-infrared.
Features
- Visible light (lux, wide dynamic range)
- UV-A/UV-B monitoring
- IR temperature via non-contact sensor (optional)
- RGB color with IR blocking filter
- 10-channel spectral sensing (violet to NIR)
