Which sensor to detect light?

I have a kit of 37 sensors as described here:

I want to create a simple circuit:

  • if the light is detected - flash LED
  • if there is no light - do nothing

Among 37 sensors I don't seem to find anything related to light / brightness / lumens...

Can you please advise me which sensor to get?


Shall I get a photocell (Light Dependent Resistor) as described here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-arduino-lesson-9-sensing-light/parts ?
