How to change the measurement mode?

[BehnamRosti]

With the default setting in this library, the maximum monitored lux is lower than 30,000 lx. Since BH1750 can capture up to 65535 lx, how to change the sensor configuration to LOW resolution for recording bright light?

[McNerdius]

import adafruit_bh1750
from adafruit_bh1750 import Resolution

bh = adafruit_bh1750.BH1750(i2c)
bh.resolution = Resolution.LOW

^ works for me

I'm going to close this because @McNerdius has answered the specific question raised here.

I did also think it would be nice to update the documentation pages to include more information about resolution (and mode incidentally) so I've created #11 to do that. Hopefully that will make it easier to discover how to use this feature moving forward.
