UV detecting components
-
sglux
- TOCON_B4 (Andy got one)
- TOCON products
- Solarlight Solar sensors
- GUVA-S12D
- 200nm-400nm (UVB only??)
- used on UV Ultraviolet Radiation Ray Detection Sensor Module
- eBay UV-sensor
Note*
- Arduino UV sensor have typically a resolution of 1 UV factor i.e. 0.1 MED/hr, so cannot be used.
