I thought I had the same problem with the light sensor using too much battery. Here is the thread I made.

My theory is that the light sensor that we're seeing as active, is the one on the capacitive buttons (not the lights, but the sensor underneath that detects when we tap on the capacitive buttons).
Look at the time it's active, it's almost the same as the time your screen was on.
If you're having big battery drains while your screen is off, then try searching for what wakelocks are keeping your phone awake. You can search for BetterBatteryStats (it's free if you download it from XDA).
