LDR Sensor - 5mm

An LDR (Light Dependent Resistor), also known as a photoresistor, is a resistor whose resistance changes based on the amount of light it receives. This particular LDR is a larger model, measuring 5mm in size.

To use it, connect one terminal of the photoresistor to a power source (such as 5V) and the other terminal to the analog input pin of your microcontroller. Add a 10K pull-down resistor between the analog pin and ground. In bright light conditions, the voltage on the pin will be 2.5V or higher, while in darkness, it will be close to ground level.

This sensor is suitable for various applications, including light sensing, color sensing, object detection, and line following.

Analog Applications:-

• Camera exposure control
• Auto slide focus – dual cell
• Photocopy machines – the density of the toner
• Colorimetric test Equipment
• Densitometer
• Electronics scales – dual cell
• Automatic gain control – modulated light source
• Automated rearview mirror

Digital Applications:-

• Automatic headlight dimmer
• Nightlight control
• Oil burner flame out
• Streetlight control
• Absence/presence (beam breaker)
• Position sensor

Other applications:-

• Annunciator
• Camera automatic photometry
• Electronic toy
• Industrial control
• Light control
• Light control lamp
• Photoelectric control
• Switch
