# Ambient Light Bricklet 2.0

Note

This Bricklet is currently work-in-progress!

## Features

- Measures ambient light up to 64000 lux
- Full dynamic range from 0.01 lux to 64000 lux
- Output in 0.01 lux steps (16 bit effective resolution)

## Description

The Ambient Light Bricklet 2.0 can be used to extend the features of Bricks with the capability to measure ambient light. It is the successor of the Ambient Light Bricklet. The measured illuminance can be read out in lux. With configurable events it is possible to react on changing illuminance without polling.

Typical applications are illuminance dependent switching of backlights, motors etc.
