I still think it'll be easier if you make "on" be 40khz (detectable by
IRRC receivers) or audio frequency (detectable by Scott's DTMF code or
similar?) rather than just on/off.  "blips" of several khz light look
just like low frequency blinking to human eyes, and you get rid of
having to filter out ambient light (maybe?)
