Is it possible to enable sensor only when measurement is made for more
power savings? Light sensor shouldn't consume much power, but nevertheless.

You'll need to add msleep(power_on_delay + resolution_rate_delay) after
enabling sensor and before reading the measurement to wait until
measurement is made by h/w.
