	The human eye is less sensitive to changes in light intensity than the 1127, but is able to see a wider range.

This sensor is designed to respond to visible light, and it can sense light from concentrated sources like laser pointers (although be careful with high-power lasers, as they could damage the sensor). It will also have a very muted response to IR light that is close to the visible spectrum (700-~~800 nm~~). The 1127 is non-ratiometric which means that you cannot rely on the sensor saturating at 5 volts. To be conservative, interpret a sensor voltage of over 4.75V as saturated, with the true light level being unknown.		the signal that you cannot perceive yourself, it is probably due to incandescent light flicker, or other varying light sources.
