4681 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Adafruit BH1750 Light Sensor (Product ID 4681) is a 16-bit ambient light sensor module based on the Rohm BH1750 IC. It provides light measurements in lux from 0 to 65535 lux, extendable to approximately 100,000 lux with calibration.

 

The module communicates via I2C and includes a STEMMA QT / Qwiic compatible JST SH 4-pin connector for easy plug-and-play use. A voltage regulator and level shifters allow operation at both 3.3V and 5V logic levels. The board also provides a 0.1" pitch through-hole header for breadboard integration.

 

The sensor offers 16-bit resolution and is suitable for ambient light monitoring, display brightness control, and daylight sensing applications.
