Since the lamp is a rather power hungry device, it is best to drive it with an
output port.
Use OnFwd(port, pwr) to turn it on (with brightness controlled by pwr
parameter), Off(port) to turn it off.
Though I have not tested, it should also glow dimly when plugged in a sensor
port. As John explained, set sensor type to SENSOR_TYPE_LIGHT_ACTIVE or
SENSOR_TYPE_LOWSPEED_9V to light it, SENSOR_TYPE_TOUCH will turn it off.
