Light level sensor (java)

using an amethyst crystal and a daylight sensor i think you should be able to make a light sensor

it could have 2 modes one where it senses the light level and one that senses how dark it is (15-light level) it will give a redstone output equal to the result. 

it could be used as a more accurate daylight sensor or a less expensive wireless redstone (skulk sensors seem to be non renewable but much more useful)

    Btw skulk sensors are a part of a skulk growth meaning that sensors will regrow (I would think but I donno). And what does wireless redstone have to with daylight, can you make that connection?

    I kinda like that idea. However I think that a daylight sensor should have multiple states so that a redstone comparator can, as you mention, measure the light level. However, it would not be an item as crafted in a grid, it would have to be placed down with a comparator on the adjacent block.
