The point is if your away exploring or mining and you have a trap for mobs it will automatically open and shut to protect your mobs
I've been waiting for an official block that detects light for a while.
I don't care if Notch will call it "solar panels" or "magic eye".
All that would matter is that I we have a block that detects luminescence.
For one, it would be the first redstone sensor. So far all the blocks that connect with redstone are output devices, with the exception of pressure plates and switches.
Having your base go into lock-down mode when it becomes dark would be brilliant. Another application would be to detect lava entering an area (since it gives off light). And because water knocks down torches, you could also detect if your base was getting flooded.
The list goes on and on...
