Mark,
Refer to the State-values in the "LIGHT" section of ECS.HTM.
As a more convenient alternative, you may want to create a
virtual LIGHT Item (which you normally SET), and another
such Item to hold the "old" State of the former.
Then have an Event:
	If	V-Light		Is Not	Old V-Light
	Then	Group-Min	Set	V-Light
	Then	Old V-Light	Set	V-Light
