The Light sensor ML14s measures light intensity and has three measurement ranges.
 The sensor uses a photo detector, which is mounted on the surface under a glass window. To protect the glass window the sensor is closed with a plastic cap.

**Technical specifications:**

- Ranges: 0.35 .. 22,937 lx, 1 .. 65,535 lx (default), 1.53 .. 100,487 lx
- Maximum sampling rate: 200 Hz

Can be used in experiments to:

- verify inverse square law
- investigate light reflection and absorption
- study solar energy
- monitor monitoring sunrise and sunset times
