what does a photoresistor do

Introducing our photoresistor, a key component in many electronic devices and circuits. A photoresistor, also known as a light-dependent resistor (LDR), is a type of resistor that changes its resistance based on the amount of light it is exposed to. When light is present, the photoresistor's resistance decreases, allowing more current to flow through the circuit. Conversely, when there is less light, the resistance increases, restricting the flow of current. This makes the photoresistor a highly useful component in light-sensing applications, such as automatic lighting controls, camera exposure controls, and solar panels. Our high-quality photoresistors are reliable, sensitive, and versatile, making them the perfect choice for a wide range of electronics projects. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional engineer, our photoresistors can help you create innovative and efficient light-sensitive designs.
