#322 

Browsing through my collection of sensors, I found quite a few which deal with measuring of light. Today we will have a look at these sensors, bring them in some order, and test them. In the end, you should be able to decide which sensor is best to use for your project.
Today’s selection covers the following areas:
- RGB sensors
- Lux sensors
- UV sensors
- IR Sensors
- Proximity/gesture sensors
