@vpowerrc : The range depends on the light..... the brighter the light the higher the range is.... So there is no specific range..... It's all up to the light source.
If you want the documentation of the project I can send it to you. It´s written in german but Google-Translate will help you ;-)
@MsDomeen: Yes it can differ a candle from a flashlight. A candle (in our case) is brighter than a flashlight and the controller measures the value of the light-sensor(red LED in the front). If the signal is lower than 70% the robot detects "cold light" and for a signal higher than 70% it detects...

@vpowerrc sorry, but I don't know what LDR stands for. The sensor I used was a 'normal' light sensor to measure the intensity (0-100%) of light.

It´s more or less the basic Lego Mindstorms Kit (the old one) and I added some extra stuff like the supercharcher and so....

@ikhebgeennick:
YES, there are just 3 outputs :-) for that problem I added an additional battery pack and some cables.
The circuit for the cables will close when the valve is closed and after a few seconds the valve opens and blows out the candle :-)
tips???? hmmm.... use your brain and think o...

I used a lightsensor to detect the candle... if the level of the sensor is higher than 75% it starts to run the supercharcher

@legomailman:
the thing at the beginning is just a lamp mounted at a battery pack.
It should show, that the robot can distinguish between a candle and a "cold" light source
