A light detection module has N optical channels, each with an optical filter, a detector, and an amplifier; and an N×1 switch with N input ports each connected to one corresponding output port of each channel to receive an amplified detector output corresponding to a filtered optical intensity incident on that detector. The switch cycles between channels, connecting each amplified detector output in turn to the output port. An ADC samples a time dependent optical intensity signal from the switch, generating a corresponding ADC digital signal output. A microcontroller, connected to the N×1 switch and the ADC, controls acquisition by the ADC to provide a digital voltage data stream from each channel; making the average optical intensity value characterizing the voltage data stream available from each channel at a digital output port of the microcontroller, as N data values, characterizing the light incident on the N channels of the module.
