How powerful is the backlight on this remote? What color is it? I have had several "backlit" remotes which were so dim as to be unusable.

I would say it pretty bright but it could be better and its a blue light. But its not dim it is readable for the most part.

I took it into a dark room and I could not see the screen. I suggest that you go online to Sony and download the owner's Manuel. I don't see anything about a backlight in it, but maybe I just missed it.

I agree the backlite is faint. It is not a problem for me but, I definitely agree it is not very bright.

I have two of these RC65RBK remote controllers. It certainly DOES have backlit keys. Press any key; it lights up. Press the little button on the right side of the unit and it lights up. If people are saying that it doesn't light up, then I suspect they're not talking about the RC65RBK.

Reg remote but has media for usb drive access to play from usb drive plus ff, rw, play, pause etc for playing movie, music from usb drive. It is backlit but poorly so, remote functions well but feels very cheap. Nice if had better backlight.

My guess is this one will be too bright for you. It's almost too bright for us. There's no way it's the "very dim" you're looking for. We finally gave up looking for a dim one and settled for this. (At least it's cute.) Good luck!

About 1/4"....maybe less....and it is not backlit. I suspect you need something bigger and brighter...right? This is not it.

No, it isn't dim-able. The colors can be manually adjusted but not the brightness.

My remote works pretty good. I generally only use it in the morning with the radio alarm to hit snooze. So in the dark and when I'm tired I just hit buttons in the middle of it (if you hit the red power button it shuts the alarm all the way off) until it switches to snooze on the display and I roll over for a few precious minutes of extra sleep.If I were you I would check the battery in it first - even new button batteries have been doa to me.

Mine sounds pretty good. There is a volume control on the remote as well as on the light itself. It doesn't have much bass, but decent quality for a small built in speaker.

The picture and brightess seem excellent to me. In a dark room when I turn it on it seems really bright for a few seconds .??Is this backlight bleedthrough? Black seems very black. The built in speakers are not adequate and if you do any music or sound for that matter, use auxiliary speakers for sure.

They do dim. The controller that comes with the lights only dims in discrete levels. I don't know if you could use one of the analog dimmers to additionally control the brightness, but the remote is good enough for us. The warm white question is a good one--it's something I was hoping for as well. You can use the remote to set 'DIY' levels, and adjust the RGB levels independently. Taking out some blue and a little green I've gotten to a pretty good warm white. It's not quite as pleasing as the 2700 K Hitlight strips that I have, but you're not stuck with only pure white or the other colors shown on the remote.

The remote comes with a dimmer, with three levels of brightness. However the LED is powered by an LED driver that controls the voltage. I'm not sure using a dimmer in front of this device is a good idea.

It works well for our master bedroom! Also note that the light dims! It's not listed in the manual or on this listing (from what I recall), but if you hold down the 'on' button on the remote, you can control it. It makes me wonder if some people perhaps do not know that and have the light more dim than it can be. Then again, some people like it really bright and I suppose it also depends on what room you plan to have it in!

It is not very bright. It's only about 2 inches long and it's under the bottom fan. It's just nice to be able to see where the fan is so you don't kick it. I wish the remote was back lite so you could actually see what button does what. I bought another fan to and it's remote isn't back lite either.

it is kinda dim, i was a little bit dissapointed when i first got the keyboard, but now it's okay actually, i wouldn't want it to be any brighter, because it would be annoying at night time. Night time the keyboard is perfect, not too dim not too bright :)

Yes. It has a dimmer. The light will dim if you press the light button on the remote and hold it.
