5mm LDR Radial Lead TypesDescriptionPhotoconductive cells are sensors that allow you to detect light.They are small, inexpensive, low−power, easy to use, and don’twear out. NTEs light−dependent resistors (LDR) are photoresis-tors whose resistance decreases with increasing incident light in-tensity. In other words, when it is dark, they have a high electricalresistance and when it is light, their electrical resistance is low.
