Below, you will find information about light sensors pricing and costs that can help you to not only buy the light sensor that will best suit the company's needs but its budget.
1. Explore the motion light sensor.
2. Price the photoelectric light sensor.
3. Check out ambient light sensors.
Buy a motion light sensor for indoor and outdoor use
Motion light sensors can come as indoor light sensors and outdoor light sensors. The configurations can differ as well: to one single light to a pair of lights. The motion sensor light can also have different kinds of beams, such as more directed flood lights to wider-beamed flood lights.
Try: ELights.com has a selection of motion sensor lights in various configurations. The range in price from under $100.00 to over $300.00 depending on the lights. Shop Outdoor Lighting also has motion light sensors that come in various styles and range from under $100.00 to over $200.00.
Shop for the photoelectric light sensor
A photoelectric light sensor can not only detect an item, but it can find the object's position, as well as its color. This is done when light is projected in a certain area and the sensor gets back light that's reflected from the item.
Try: AutomationDirect has various configurations of photoelectric light sensors ranging in price from $50.00 to just under $100.00. Galco also has a range of photoelectric light sensors, which range in price to under $50.00 to under $200.00.
Check out the ambient light sensor
Ambient light sensors are sensitive to radiation. In this it is similar to human eyes and the manner they detect light. They are useful in devices like cell phones and monitors, enabling the user to see when light conditions are low.
Try: Photonics describes the ambient light sensors designed by Avago Technologies, which are available starting "at $0.45 in moderate volumes" (follow the link to the company). Sparkfun Electronics has ambient light sensors for under $2.00.
