LM393 IR Flame Detection Sensor Module for Arduino

The flame sensor module detects IR light in the 760nm–1100nm wavelength range using a photodiode sensitive to the spectrum emitted by flames and candles. The LM393 comparator converts the photodiode current to a digital TTL output that goes LOW when flame IR is detected, with the detection threshold set by an onboard potentiometer. An analogue output provides the raw photodiode signal for intensity measurement via ADC.

  • 760nm–1100nm detection band — matches flame and candle emission spectrum
  • Digital and analogue outputs — threshold detection and raw intensity
  • Adjustable threshold — onboard potentiometer
  • Detection angle — approximately 60°
  • 3.3V–5V supply — direct GPIO connection

Best for

Fire alarm prototypes, candle presence detection, pilot light monitors, automatic gas valve controllers, fire-fighting robots, and safety system projects detecting open flame.

Jacob U. ★★★★★

Just got this sensor working with my Arduino and it picks up a candle flame from about a foot away without any fuss. The sensitivity adjustment via the onboard pot is super handy for dialing out false triggers from sunlight. Exactly what I needed for my fire detection project.

John ★★★★★

The potentiometer lets me dial in the detection distance so it doesn't false-trigger on sunlight, which was my main worry. Fires up an LED the instant I bring a lighter near it, no lag at all.

Grace Q. ★★★★★

Tested it with a candle about a foot away and the digital output flipped instantly, which is way more sensitive than I expected from a module this cheap. The onboard potentiometer let me dial the threshold down so it ignores my desk lamp but still trips on an actual flame.
