VEML6075 UVA and UVB light sensor
Information
This is a UV sensor module based on Vishay VEML6075 sensor, adopting individual UVA and UVB channel solution with 16-bit resolution. It can convert solar UV light intensity to digital data to provide an accurate measure of the signal strength.
VEML6075 UV sensor can give a reliable performance of UV radiation measurement under long time solar UV exposure. Furthermore, the sensor provides excellent temperature compensation capability within -40℃ to +85℃. VEML6075 features, low power consumption, and its minimum power can be as low as 800nA in shut-down mode. The operating voltage of the sensor ranges from 3.3V to 5V. It adopts IIC protocol, which can work well with any micro-controller that supports IIC.
Compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi, this sensor can be used in portable electronic product, wearable device, weather station, flame detecting and so on.
Disclaimer
This sensor will not work well with UVB lights. This sensor needs IR light and UV light to work. UVB lights do not emit IR light. So this sensor can only be used to measure (direct) sunlight. Source
