The Saga logger has a light sensor positioned below the display. The device measures light intensity every 10 seconds and compares the measurement to the previous one.

The light events are registered in the Supply Chain Monitoring web interface. See https://docs-controlant.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CD/pages/262529/Shipments+tab#Light-Events
Why do I see two or more light-on/light-off events in a row?
To optimize memory capacity, the device does not store light events. It compares the current light intensity measurement to the previous measurement, not to the last registered event.
If you see multiple of the same light events in the web interface, it is useful to think of them as dim, dimmer, dimmest and bright, brighter, brightest.
