This gray scale sensor is able to measure the intensity of light from black to white. A gray scale is also known as black-and-white, are composed exclusively of shades of gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest.

This is a common sensor for automatic lamps that are turned on when light is not enough. For example, with lack of sun light the value will be low enough and this value can be used to trigger a relay to enable a lamp and shutdown the lamp when the sunlight is back. Other light sensitive devices could be used for simple data transmission, like Morse code with a flash light. And can also be used as a line following (tracking ) sensor.
