Or can you let it do this to:

10-20 do something else
20-30 do something else,

Can't you just drag multiple light sensing blocks onto your workspace?  I know
that it works for counters.

If you have expectations of seeing results so neatly spread out across the
range from 0-100, prepare to be disappointed.  It's hard to get a difference of
100 in RAW mode, were the sensor varies from 0..1023!  In percentage mode it
seems to hover around 50-60 all the time.  The only way I've found to break out
of this range is with a lot of IR.  IR LEDs are on my shopping list today.
