A receiver assembly for receiving light pulses, a lidar module containing such a receiver assembly, and a method for receiving light pulses are proposed. There is at least one photosensitive receiver (SPAD) therein, which converts the light pulses into an electric signal. An evaluation circuit is connected to the receiver, which determines a distance between the receiver assembly and at least one object that reflects the light pulses from the electric signal, by means of a time-correlated photon counting with at least one histogram, via a time of flight of the light pulse. The evaluation circuit is configured to reduce the resolution of the distance determination starting at no further than a predetermined distance.
