Light sensor sample
Shows how to use the Windows.Devices.Sensors.LightSensor API.
Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.
This sample allows the user to view the ambient light reading as a LUX value. You can choose one of two scenarios:
- LightSensor data events
- Poll light sensor readings
LightSensor Data Events
When you click the Enable button for the Data Events option, the app begins streaming light-sensor readings in real time.
Poll LightSensor Readings
When you click the Enable button for the Polling option, the app will retrieve the sensor readings at a fixed interval.

- Press Ctrl+Shift+B, or select Build > Build Solution.
Run the sample
The next steps depend on whether you just want to deploy the sample or you want to both deploy and run it.
Deploying the sample
- Select Build > Deploy Solution.
Deploying and running the sample
- To debug the sample and then run it, press F5 or select Debug > Start Debugging. To run the sample without debugging, press Ctrl+F5 or selectDebug > Start Without Debugging.
