A simulation of the LEGO Light sensor circuit I did in PSpice showed that
the sensor wouldn't read down to zero just because the way the LED interacts
electrically. There is some light bleeding effect, but it wouldn't go to
zero even if you covered the LED totaly with black material. Bleeding is
probably less than half the problem of reading in the dark.
