Light Measurement sensor

[harisankarbs]

Hi I have an application where i need ambient light sensor. While I can use sensors like BH1750. I am not sure how i can use it in an industrial setting. Is there any industrial ambient light sensor. It should less than 1.5 inch as well.

Search for Nema4 ambient light sensor. This will give more of an industrial sensor.

I did some “greenhouse” installations and they used 4-20ma LCom sensors. I didn’t get to write the controls though, just do the component installations. It was a brilliant setup. Sensors in set zones that follow an EPID with tie backs to ensure optimal canopy penetration. The lights themselves were some special LED setup that received a 0-10v input from the PLC to set the intensity.
