Solar sensors detect the amount of solar irradiation acting on the vehicle and allow the climate control system to compute and compensate thermal loads inside of the passenger compartment for occupant comfort. Ambient light sensors measure ambient light conditions as seen by the human eye and allow the vehicle body lighting system to automatically control Interior or Exterior lighting features such as Daylight Running Lights or the automatic dimming of instrument panel lighting.
Applications:
- Automotive HVAC control
- Interior and exterior lighting control
- Visual indicator
