Our twilight sensor has the ability to sense when a vehicle's headlights should be turned on at dusk and off at dawn; it can also sense when headlights should be turned on or off due to changes in sky conditions. The Twilight Sensor's advanced optical technology improves driver safety by making the vehicle more visible to other vehicles and pedestrians. Our patented diffuser technology provides uniform horizon-to-horizon sensor response.
Custom photo ASICs and proprietary optical plastics allow the sensor to respond to light like the human eye. The sensor generates an output directly proportional to the ambient light level.
Features and Benefits
Accurate Light Measurement
• C.I.E. photopic response gives human eye-like reaction.

• Custom Photo ASIC provides increased output current compared to standard photo detectors.
• Output current proportional to ambient light level.
• Functions as a light dependent current sink.
• Surface mount and chip-on-board technology. • Remains stable over temperature and time.
Flexible Integration
• Customized configuration to meet specific mounting and cosmetic requirements
• Customizable output
• Custom interconnect
• Capable of adding additional functions such as solar sensing, tunnel sensing, interior fog sensing and an LED indicator
