This is a TSL2561 Digital Luminosity Sensor Breakout. Unlike the simple luminosity sensor like CdS cell, this breakout allows a more accurate lightness.

Not only does it measure visible radiation, but also measures IR for better adjustment to the human eye.

The sensor has a digital I2C interface.

Pin header is not included.
