Customer Questions & Answers

What is the main advantage of the BH1750FVI sensor over traditional photodiodes or LDRs in light measurement applications?

The BH1750FVI offers direct digital measurement in lux, high accuracy of 1 lux, and I2C output, eliminating the need for analogue conversion and complex calibration required by LDRs and photodiodes. In addition, its linearity and dynamic range (1-65535 lux) are superior for applications requiring consistent and comparable measurements.

What are the dimensions and approximate weight of the GY-30 BH1750FVI module?

The GY-30 BH1750FVI module measures approximately 33 mm x 13.8 mm x 4 mm and weighs around 2 g. It is compact enough to integrate easily into prototypes or embedded projects.

Are there any known limitations in operating conditions, such as temperature or electromagnetic interference?

The BH1750FVI operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C. It is not immune to strong electromagnetic interference on the I2C line, which can affect data transmission; therefore, in environments with a lot of electromagnetic noise, the use of short or shielded cables is recommended.

What voltage does the BH1750FVI sensor work with?

The BH1750FVI sensor works with a power supply voltage between 3V and 5V.

What range of light can this sensor measure?

It can measure light intensities from 0 to 65,535 lux.

How does the sensor communicate with Arduino?

The sensor uses standard digital I2C communication to connect with Arduino.

What light measurement accuracy does it have?

The sensor accuracy is 1 lux, providing very exact measurements.

What is included in the package when buying this sensor?

It includes 1 unit of the BH1750FVI light sensor model GY-30.
