Ambient light sensors detect light intensity, similar to the human eye. They are widely used in industrial lighting, consumer electronics, and automotive systems to automatically adjust settings based on ambient light conditions. This functionality helps conserve battery power and enhance safety by eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
