Hi Philip
I'll be interested to hear how you go with the TSL2591. I have one here too but it tops out at about 88000 lux and normal sunlight can be up to 110-120k Lux. I have the analogue GA1A12S202 Log-scale Analog Light Sensor sitting outside on test at the moment, but it too tops out well before full sunlight. I now have it covered with a very opaque cover to lower the light range. Do you intend to just report lux or try and convert it to w/m2? I have a feeling that because they are so sensitive at low light light levels the light curve is going to be "interesting"
Cheers
Colin
