Description:
The LM393 LDR Light Sensor Module is a high-sensitivity light detection module that helps your Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects respond to changes in ambient light levels. Using an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) paired with an LM393 comparator chip, it delivers accurate analog and digital signals to trigger smart actions like turning ON/OFF LEDs, motors, or alarms automatically.
Whether you’re creating a smart streetlight system in Delhi, a home automation project in Noida, or a robotic vision sensor in Bangalore, this compact, plug-and-play module ensures precision, durability, and ease of integration.

Arduino Code Example:
int sensorAnalog = A0;
int sensorDigital = 2;
int led = 13;
void setup() {
pinMode(sensorDigital, INPUT);
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
int lightLevel = analogRead(sensorAnalog);
int lightState = digitalRead(sensorDigital);
Serial.print("Light Level: ");
Serial.println(lightLevel);
if (lightState == LOW) {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
} else {
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
}
delay(500);
}
