Can change resistance depending on the amount of light
Power Consumption: 70 mW
Voltage: 5 V
The Light Sensor Mini Photocell is made of environment-friendly materials (no Cadmium and Lead) compared with the traditional CDS photoresistor. It changes resistance depending on the amount of light it is exposed to.
So I found the actual manufacturer datasheet for this guy: https://github.com/DFRobot/DFResources/raw/master/Others/Datasheet.pdf Comment RobotShop: Thank you for the link, we updated the product description.

Trial and error but does work
It would be nice to have a real data sheet for this. It basically says it runs on 5v but nothing about it's resistance characteristics (min/max), polarity, light frequency it's sensative to etc. Had to play to figure it out and still not 100% sure. Is there a real part number somewhere and a real datasheet?

Working - Minimal Datasheet
Works well enough but not much of a datasheet to help with getting a clear analog value
