Overview
Light intensity data logger is an open-source printed circuit board by Llamero, from the Llamero/Light_Color_and_Intensity_Datalogger repository on GitHub, published under the Apache-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 100 × 69 mm with 27 parts on 61 nets, routed with 931 tracks and 389 vias.
It is built around the BME280, TCS34725FN and TSL25911FN, with the BU2032SM-BT-GTR, JS202011SCQN and JS5208 among its other parts. Its parts include 5 ICs, 4 capacitors, 2 resistors, 2 diodes and 2 switches. It belongs with the sensors and measurement boards and the NXP (LPC, Kinetis, i.MX RT) boards of this library.

README
README.mdData Logger: Temperature, Pressure, Humidity, Light Intensity and Color

Summary:
This is an open-source data logger that can record air temperature, air pressure, relative humidity, visible light instensity, near-infrared light intensity, and visible light color (RGB). This data logger can record at up to 1 Hz onto a FAT32 formatted SD card. At 1Hz and with a full battery pack (6 AAs) the data logger should run for 200+ days on a single pack (depending on the SD card), with lower sampling frequencies increasing the duration to a maximum of >800 days (depending on the SD card). The light sensors employ an autogain feature with the intensity sensor having a 600,000,000:1 dynamic range, and a minimum sensitivity at about 1.0 nW/cm2.

Questions
How big is the Light intensity data logger PCB?
It measures 100 × 69 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Light intensity data logger use?
27 parts, built around the BME280, TCS34725FN, TSL25911FN and BU2032SM-BT-GTR. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Light intensity data logger KiCad files?
From the Llamero/Light_Color_and_Intensity_Datalogger repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Schematic and PCB layout/Light_intensity_data_logger/Light_intensity_data_logger.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Light intensity data logger design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
