I suspect that the spectral composition of the lights are quite
different. As to what the difference is, I have no clue. But it should
be available somewhere.

Along the same lines, the technical answer to the original question is
the response curve of the light sensor. This should also be available.
Does anyone know? [Does the light sensor use photo-transistors from a
fixed manufacturer, or does it change over time?]

A friend of mine suggests that the poor response of the sensor to the LED is
because the light from the LED is a single color. Where as the light from the
incandescent bulb is white light which apparently contains many if not all of
the colors.

I've done a lot of readings with the light sensor and analysed them. If you want
to have a look you can go to http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~mkogut/Report.doc .
If you look in the appendix of that document you'll find information on the
light sensor (and many other things...)
