Gas detectors and gas sensors interact with a gas to initiate the measurement of its concentration. The detector or sensor then provides output to an instrument to display the measurements. Search by Specification | Learn More about Gas Detectors and Gas Sensors

Light sensor chips convert light into electrical signals which are then conditioned to produce a desired electrical output. They are sometimes called light-to-frequency chips, light-to-voltage chips, or ambient light sensors. Learn More about Light Sensor Chips

...or light meters consist of a body, photo cell or light sensor, and display. The light that falls onto the photo cell or sensor contains energy that is converted to electric current. In turn, the amount of current depends on the amount of light that strikes... Search by Specification | Learn More about Lux Meters (Light Meters)
