Philo wasn't able to post here but via email he pointed out that it is best to
use the lamp on an output port rather than a sensor port.
Here's what he had to say:
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.
