Pretty much:

0 means the minimum value that the sensor can report. So yes, in this 
case, complete darkness, normally.

1 means the max mvalue that the sensor can report, not necessarily 
direct sunlight (whatever that means in terms of actual measurement),
but what the sensor considers full brightness.

I didn't want to overexplain in my previous mail but what I thought was 
that:

Value can be null, or have a number value.
- If it is null, then min must be 0.0 and max must be 1.1 and normalized 
value must be a number between 0 and 1
- otherwise min is the min value in the specified unit, max is the max 
value and normalized value must be null.

What do you think?

Max.
