will there be problems in processing data from a digital light sensor if the digital light sensor is 16-bits digital output, while the microcontroller which it is interfaced with is an 8-bit microcontroller?
 

No there will not be any problems as long as you have acquired the 16 bit data correctly,
you can read the 16bit using a serial interface or using a port 2 times or you can use 2 ports for a total of 16bit (parallel transfer).
The mcu can work internally with bit length of more than 8bit (16,32 or 64bit)

Thank you very much...the sensor uses a I2C protocol for its data transfer....
