There is a light sensor and ten NeoPixel LEDs on your Circuit Playground Bluefruit. This example uses the ten LEDs to indicate light level from the light sensor.
Try shining a flashlight at your Circuit Playground Bluefruit to see the number of lit pixels increase, or cover up the board to see the number of lit pixels decrease.
