There was a simple way to get ambilight data in old mac's (and macbooks without touchbar) through AppleLMUController

But in macs with touch bar AppleLMUController doesn't exist. Does somebody know how to get this data now?

This is not a supported technique. The general rule for I/O Kit is that infrastructure prefixed with IO is intended to be API while infrastructure with other prefixes, and that specifically includes Apple, is not. Calling undocumented methods on undocumented I/O Kit user clients is not the path to long-term binary compatibility, and it seems that the Touch Bar Macs are helping to illustrate that fact.
As far as I know there is no supported API to get ambient light values on macOS.

let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@apple.com"as I understand — now this data sensor controller has been moved to the T1 chip
do you have any ideas how to debug its parameters?

Ah um, no. There’s no supported way to get the ambient light sensor value and DevForums is not the right place to discuss unsupported approaches.
