1356

The 1356 is a TCS34725 Flora Color Sensor with white illumination LED. An IR blocking filter integrated on-chip and localized to the color sensing photodiodes, minimizes the IR spectral component of the incoming light and allows color measurements to be made accurately. The filter means you'll get much truer color than most sensors, since humans don't see IR. The sensor also has an incredible 3,800,000:1 dynamic range with adjustable integration time and gain so it is suited for use behind darkened glass or fabric. To make sure you get consistent color, specified a nice neutral 4150°K temperature LED with a MOSFET driver on-board to illuminate what you're trying to sense. The LED can be easily turned on during sensing and turned off afterwards to save power.
