Torch Light Detector

I think the daylight detector is a missed opportunity. If it could detect block light level it would be a lot more useful. Turn a light on and see how much light reaches the detector as it outputs more or less redstone signal. Light levels go from 0-15, so does redstone.

You could use this to check if monsters will spawn or as a form of wireless redstone. This should be a new block called Light Sensor or something like that.

    I agree. I'm using a daylight sensor with a piston to make a synced clock. However, the clock breaks at night as I cannot detect artificial sources of light. When I say synced clock, I mean the clock no matter where you build it (providing it has direct access to sunlight), it will send a one second pulse at the same exact time as every other synced clock in the world.
