Thanks for developing this library. I just bought a breakout board with BH1750FVI and found this library works great!

But one thing I found is that readLightLevel gives a very different value when the sensitivity is changed from 1 to another. I believe the reason is that, in the readLightLevel method, rawLightLevel is multiplied by _sensitivity. If I divided by _sensitivity, it could give me consistent values regardless of the sensitivity. Could you take a look? Thanks in advance.

Dear @enjoyneering,

was it your intention that other modes than BH1750_ONE_TIME_HIGH_RES_MODE_2, BH1750_ONE_TIME_LOW_RES_MODE do have a integration time greater than zero?
My understanding is that in continuous operation mode you don't have to necessarily wait before reading out the sensor.

If it wasn't your intention you could add a break statement after each case of switch(_sensorResolution). If it is your intention you might want to adjust the documentation string of readLightLevel accordingly.

Thanks for consideration and kind regards,
