Product Description

        This is GYML8511 Analog Output Ultra-Violet Light Sensor Module. The GYML8511 module is easy to use the ultraviolet light sensor. The GYML8511 Sensor works by outputting an analog signal in relation to the amount of detected UV light. This breakout can be very handy in creating devices that warn the user of sunburn or detect the UV index as it relates to weather conditions.

         This sensor detects 280-390nm light most effectively. This is categorized as part of the UVB (burning rays) spectrum and most of the UVA (tanning rays) spectrum. It outputs an analog voltage that is linearly related to the measured UV intensity (mW/cm2).
