Correct Lux Value?

[Artur2001]

Hello, I compare the TSL2591 with the TSL2561. Strangely I get about the half lux value.

The TSL2561 have a max value of 40,000 Lux and I reach this value in good weather. Then I get an overrun and so I assume that it measures correctly.

Have you compare the results with a Lux-Meter?

I never tested with a Lux-Meter, sorry. I would not trust a sensor to much close to saturation
