Q2. The unit of the output from these sensors is? How can I convert it to LUX? A2. Well, it is only a simple analog sensor that could show you the relationship of the light intensity within its detect range and voltage 0-5V . If you want to transfer the voltage to unit in LUX, then well, it requires that you have a commercial Light Intensity Meter like this that can display LUX info, then you can match the readings to the sensor's analog reading, then you could a map to describe the relationship of voltage and ambient light density.
