How do you adjust the brightness? mine seems to just have off/on...

Six to 8 years ago, there was a prior model that had three levels of brightness and multiple LEDs. However they redesigned the 95-112w and it currently has one LED and no adjustments at all. ON/OFF is all you get. Well if you put old batteries in it, I am sure you can experience a lower light output, but that's not practical.

These only have the off and on. The old and best version to me, did have the range of 3 bulbs, 6 bulbs or 9 bulbs. It had the 9 led bulbs. You can still run it on 3, 6, or 9 batteries. That adjusts the brightness.

The brightness can be adjusted. The factory settings are what I use. Feel free to call them if you need very detailed info.I have two of these and the one currently in use does as described. The sea life is happy.

The dimmer has a way of lowering the minimum brightness setting. If you read the instructions, it is under the "Setting Minimum Light Level (Programming mode)" in the "Operation" section. That said, when I tried doing it, it didn't bring the brightness level down below the default setting. So, maybe you can bring it up, but not down further than the default. We ended up putting lower lumen bulbs in one room where I wanted the minimum brightness to be lower.

yea i noticed that in the onset, Sometime even when i changed the brightness manually it would stay the same. I restarted my machine and some pending updates were installed i don't kno if that fixed it but it has not happened since.

How can you adjust the brightness when the brightness option is shaded out on the setup menu? Help!

Turn the numerical brightness dial to "0". I had a similar issue until I noticed the 0 setting turned the sight off.

If you go into advanced power settings you can turn off adaptive brightness. That fixed this issue for me. Go to Control Panel &gt; Hardware and Sound &gt; Power Options, then click on "Change plan settings" next to your active power plan. Click on "Change advanced power settings." Scroll down to Display, then under Enable adaptive brightness, switch it off for both the battery and plugged in modes.

Like previous answer, the point is to have the light on. However you can make it quote dim. I usually turn the brightness down a notch or two anyway.

Hi! No matter what angle or what dimmer setting - I can't read the display. It seems that the back lighting is too bright and everything is lit. Instead of 8:30 like the picture on the left here says... my clock reads 8:88

We have the dimmer set to mode 3 with -15 level and ON. and it is still WAYYYY too bright at night. Other than powering it off or covering the touchscreen with non-adhesive window tint any suggestions?

Maybe the brightness is too low. Try to change it. There is a Pin that can change the brightness. My screen worked with a 1 V input. Good luck!

Brightness cannot be adjusted, however you can adjust contrast by: Pressing the MENU/SHUFFLE button 5 times. You'll see "CONT:10" on the display. Adjust the contracts to your desired level by pressing the &lt;&lt; and &gt;&gt; buttons. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

First of all, shut down the light. Then push the button twice quickly. You can change the brightness of the light. First push, highly bright, second push, lower bright. Please try it agein. If you can't, ask me again.

If it's working correctly you should turn it on, release the button then press and hold the power(blue) button and it should cycle through the intensity settings. If the light is off and you press and hold the power button it comes on very low beam.
