Describe the bug

In clight.log, I never seen such messages :

Hi! That's because since Clight 4.9, SCREEN module has been completely reworked and it does now capture screenshots every few seconds to compute correct backlight-adjusted value given screen-emitted brightness.
Note that the messages should only be printed whenever the screen backlight changes, not always. If the spam is too much, you can disable SCREEN module. I might consider a "notification cooldown" period workaround too perhaps, even if i wouldn't really like the added complexity.

OK thanks

I'll close this one since it is not a real issue after all. Let me know if you'd prefer a different fix (ie: a cool-down period between notifications; as i said, i would not love the added complexity and the fact that the log file would not log everything Clight is doing though.
