This is how the Sensor Watcher works.  The stack of code that hangs below a
Sensor Watcher is only executed once when the reading becomes true.  As long
as the condition stays true it won't do anything which is probably not what
you want.

What you need is a Check and Choose Stack Controller to monitor the light
sensor.  You have to stick it in a My Command with the necessary true false
code and then put the My Command in a Repeat Forever loop.  This is the only
way to nest loops, and you can only do it one deep.

The Sensor Watcher is a good way to handle the bump conditon using a Touch
sensor and it sounds like it is working for you.

Hope this helps.
