The camera firmware is setup to turn the red LED on when the target color you've requested is visible, and it'll go off if it's not visible. Sometimes the red LED will remain on constantly if the camera doesn't initialize properly on powerup.

It's an easy feedback to see if the camera is seeing the color you told it to look for. If it's going on and off when you wave the camera at the light then your calibration is fine.

The green LED is the camera power indicator.
