Fényérzékelők, or light sensors, are electronic components that detect and measure light. They work by converting incident light into an electrical signal, which can then be processed by other electronic circuits. There are several types of light sensors, each with different characteristics and applications. Photodiodes, for instance, are semiconductor devices that generate a current or voltage when exposed to light. Phototransistors are similar to photodiodes but offer higher sensitivity due to an integrated amplification mechanism. Photoresistors, also known as LDRs (light-dependent resistors), change their electrical resistance based on the intensity of light falling on them; they become less resistive in brighter light.

The applications of light sensors are widespread. They are commonly found in automatic lighting systems, where they turn lights on or off based on ambient light levels. In cameras, they are used for exposure control, ensuring photographs are neither too dark nor too bright. Many consumer electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablets, utilize light sensors to automatically adjust screen brightness. They also play a role in security systems, industrial automation, and scientific instrumentation, contributing to a wide range of automated processes and user experiences. The specific type of light sensor chosen depends on factors like the required sensitivity, speed of response, and the operating environment.
