TSL2561 Luminosity Sensor

Hi,
In my next project I want to use a light sensor to measure the luxs or lumens in a room.
I found this light sensor in sparkfun

Is there any better sensor for begginers ? Which is the best way to take the measures ?

Thanks,
Pep

The page of sparkfun has a link to github which contains running code/libraries.

advice: if you are a beginner, familiarize yourself with the Arduino language on the tutorial section.

Thank you, I'm going to check those libraries.
