What is the lighted pad option? I assume (and hope) this means the switch glows a bit, so you can find it in the dark? How does it work, how bright is it?

Yes, the switch glows (probably an LED) when it is OFF so you can find it in the dark. Not very bright but not sure how to quantify that. Bright enough to help you find the switch but not so bright that it would bother me in my bedroom.

The entire switch/slider doesn't light up (see Ty P.'s answer ) -- it is a moderate-intensity orange light below the switch itself. It's certainly sufficient to facilitate locating the switch in a dark hallway or room. The light on the switch turns off when the switch is turned on (makes sense...).

Its a faint orange glow you can see from across a dark room, but it doesn't bring much attention. It lights up just above the bottom rocker switch

It's just bright enough to find in the dark, and no brighter. I'm quite satisfied with it.

Yes, the switch has a very dim locator light to assist in finding it in the dark. The "option" refers to a tiny switch on the dimmer that allows you to disable the light off if desired. The installation instructions explain it.

There is a small orange light at the top right of the sliding track. The 'option' is a switch at the top of the light, accessible with the faceplate removed that is used to turn the light on and off. It's bright enough to find the switch in a dark room but not so bright it's annoying in a bedroom.

It should glow right away. Check to make sure your plug is 'live'. Otherwise, you got a defective unit.

Honestly, I cannot see it in the dark. My ++ review was based on ease of installation. Maybe if it was exposed to light it would glow. Unfortunately, how do you expose it to light in the dark? Sorry I could not help. I am staying with the factory sight.

Yes, the keyboard does light up in the dark!! When we got it, it was on by default so we never had to set/change anything for it to work. Good PC at a good price; nothing wrong with it! My Daughter uses it for Schoolwork and other stuff, and is very happy with it; however it is a bit weak for gaming.....Good luck!

It is working the way it is supposed to. If you want the light to stay on when you press the switch, use the button, not the pressure pad. The pressure pad is supposed to be momentary. With the button you will get more modes: bright, slightly dimmer and strobe, off. The pressure switch only gives you bright and off and only lights while the pressure pad has pressure on it.

On mine, the side switch will only glow when power is reduced and you will need to recharge soon.

Perhaps so. I don't have that capability on my switch. Light is very soft however - more of a "glow",

Not sure what you mean here, when it's dark the light come on so if you want to check out whether it's working, Make sure it is charged then cover the light sensor so it can't detect daylight and the light should come on. If it doesn't check to make sure the switch is on, the light doesn't charge ot come on when the switch is off

I called about my pad and simply told them it was not working. No questions asked except what my address was and they sent me another one. I told them the light comes on and then blinks off and it does not hear. I did not have a problem at all with things turning brown. That is scarey!

No lights on the keypad. You'll have to have light or use sense of touch to select buttons in the dark.

yes, it will show you in light in the controller. when its full charged, the light will disappear from controller.

I did buy one of these before from target. I bought this one from amazon, but we are moving so we haven't put it together yet. on the one from target, the switch was a small rubber button about a third of the way down the post. it wasn't easy to see, but if you find it just push it and let it go. if you push it more that one time it gets brighter. mine Is in storage or I would try to figure it out for you. good luck, treen

I only use when I'm awake in a lit room. I think they caution about sleeping with it, so that may be why there is no light. But obviously you're awake if you want to change the control, so turn on the light or use a flashlight? Also one reviewer said it doesn't beep when it turns off. My pad does - it is very faint, though.

I just posted a photo showing the switch in the off position. The photo came out sideways, but you'll see the little green dots lit up to the point where the brightness had been set just before you turned the switch off.

I have one and I'm pretty sure it is just a light sensor. without messing around with the electronics it only lights up if it is dark.

SO I got one of these for my wife...its a simple device and works as expected..the issue is it it TOO BRIGHT at night. 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?

When the on-off switch is pressed to "on" the screen lights up bright enough for me to see in the dark. I have not discovered any way to stop the light from coming on, or for making it brighter or darker. The battery seems unaffected by having the light on for a long time, but how can I measure that when it just does its own thing?
