LEDs on Light Sensor Breakouts, what are they for?

[alphanumeric]

Another ops moment, the Galactic Unicorn does have a LUX sensor.
Remember this.

Understanding the GU light sensor

I just sat down with the intent of adding an auto brightness feature to my Galactic Unicorn. Dim it in low background light conditions, and go bright when the room is brightly lit. I was surprised to not find any light sensor example on Pimoroni’s Github page? Luckily a search brought me back here, and to some nice working code I can start with. Many thanks for posting it. =)

On devices with no built in LUX sensor I used the LTR-599. My Interstate 75 w for example.
I have an outdoor weather station I’ve been tinkering with on and off. I have a VEML6075 to measure UV light so I can and then calculate the UV index. The AS7374 is going to be paired with that for more light measuring.

I have many Enviro based cloned builds. Pi and Pico Based. Nothing saved to the cloud of even logged to a file. I just look at the LCD to see what’s happening at the moment. That will likely change once I finally get my outdoor weather station up and running. I have the wind and rain sensors. ICP10125 for the pressure, BME280 for temp, and humidity. The two light sensors and an RV3028 for time keeping.
