1. The role of illuminance sensor

There are many roles for illuminance sensors, such as the regulation of indoor illumination in shopping malls, stations, hospitals and other occupations. The most known is still the role of the illuminance sensor in the greenhouse greenhouse. In modern agriculture, there are many sensors used in greenhouse cultivation, among which the illuminance sensor is one of the more important ones, which can affect the production value of crops.

Illumination is an important source of energy for crop organic matter and production. Light intensity supplies material for photosynthesis, which is the process by which crops produce organic matter, supply energy for crop growth, and store it. Light intensity is measured using a light sensor, and the amount of light intensity affects the photosynthesis of the crop. In modern agriculture, the rate of photosynthesis is improved by increasing or decreasing the light intensity in appropriate amounts. The light level sensor measures the light level to determine if it needs to be increased or decreased. The way to increase the light level is to use fluorescent lamps without reflector to shine.

2. The application of illuminance sensor

(1) not only intelligent equipment, in the new intelligent home and building lighting control, infrared cameras and a variety of lighting equipment brightness adjustment, often through the illuminance sensor to complete, and the use of illuminance sensor adjusted brightness often not only to meet the requirements, and will save a lot of electricity, this role is now the primary requirement of the era of energy saving and emission reduction.

(2) In addition to the above-mentioned application areas, in fact, in the climate needs to use illumination sensors to cooperate with wind speed, wind direction, as well as air pressure, temperature and other sensor equipment to complete the climate data collection operations, especially with regard to a particular environment, the intensity of sunlight and temperature changes, to obtain climate results often in agriculture, animal husbandry and new energy development areas have an important role.
