Overview

The Wireless Smart Light and Colour Sensor is USB and Bluetooth compatible. Using Bluetooth, a sensor can connect to mobile devices, tablets, laptops, and desktops. 


The sensor house five active elements:


  • An ambient light level sensor
  • A directional light level sensor
  • An RGB colour sensor
  • A white light LED illumination source


All of the elements can be used individually or together in any combination. 


The ambient light sensor is on the top of the sensor body, it is used to measure the amount of light available from a wide field measurement. 


The directional light sensor is at the end of a collimator which reduces the impact of non-directional light. Measurements from this sensor will be taken when the sensor is pointing directly at the light source.


The RGB colour sensor will return colour information from a reflective surface on the RGB percentage scheme. 


The white light LED is to provide a constant light source for comparison of colour.
