The TSL2561 is an inexpensive but sophisticated light sensor.
Unlike simpler sensors like photoresistors and photodiodes, the TSL2561 incorporates both infrared and visible light sensors to better approximate the

* that allow it to handle this huge dynamic range. These settings are similar to a camera; one can change both the sensitivity (which is like an ASA film rating), and the integration time, (which is like the shutter speed). Like a camera, you can balance those measurements for the best results. Lux is
