Good light sensor

Non linear response , but still easy to use with microcontrollers or OP Amp comparators.

Does its job well

This sensor does everything its described to do. Gives a fair reading of the different light levels so you should have it fit your needs pretty well. The price and size make it fairly good for any project.
