OPT3001: OPT3001 Ambient room Reading.

Kalyan Vagvala61

Part Number: OPT3001

Hello Team,

I would like to know what the OPT3001 sensor LUX value will be in normal room lighting and is there any documentation that could help me here?

I could get that LUX range is 0.01 to 83K. But for my application i need to set some lower threshold and higher threshold.

Help here is appreciated.

Thanks,

Kalyan

Hi Kalyan,

Outdoor in full (indirect) daylight is around 10k lux. Direct sunlight will be closer to the max of the sensor. Indoor typical office light is around 500 lux.

This post has some good values for reference https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sensorsapi/understanding-and-interpreting-lux-values

Best,

Alex
