	The human eye is less sensitive to changes in light intensity than the 1127, but is able to see a wider range. The Human eye range is from 50 µlux (starlight) to 100 klx (extremely bright sunny day). The 1127, on the other hand, is able to measure from 1 lux (Moonlight) to 1000 lux (TV studio lighting) The 1127 is able to detect higher frequency fluctuations in light levels than the human eye.

	the signal that you cannot perceive yourself, it is probably due to incandescent light flicker, or other varying light sources. 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 1000 SensorValue. To be conservative, interpret SensorValue over 950 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.
