Does this unit dim deeply or is it very bright at night like most other brands?

I don't believe this unit is "too" bright. There are options to change the color, both on the radio display and GPS. I have my GPS setting on night always. Not bright at all. But this unit isn't without it's glitches. I've had experiences now more than a couples of times where the screen freezes or not turn on at all. I had to turn off the car and it reset. Granted I am no expert, I do not know if it's my car's electrical system or the unit itself. Good luck with your shopping.

Its not too bright by my standards. The GPS has a night mode which is nice. At day its brightness is sufficient. I think the brightness is just right. My system has never frozen or glitched. I'm probably one of the lucky ones.

My unit dims pretty well, It doesnt bother me at night, however, its not OEM dim. You can also turn off the screen if its that troubling

You can set the unit where it will dim on it on however it will dim deeply with no problem

I have mine in my bedroom, and it does leak out light. It's not a shining light or bright light the displays on other air purifiers I have. Depending on the angle you look at it, you can see a couple thin strips of light and then a light orange light from the operation level (low, high, auto) button. All-in-all, the lights that show are very, very dim.

No: It is not bright -- the light is a dim greenish glow in the ON/OFF switch. It is a 1/2" long and 1/4" oval light that could easily be taped up if the glow proved annoying.

The dimmest setting is very dim, only readable close-up. The brightest setting isn't all that bright - does not cast light into the room like a night light.

We have had our light for 1 year. We don't use it very often and have only charged it twice since we have had it and it has never gone dim but when we did we charged it overnight.

It has quite a span in brightness. It goes from very dim to pretty bright. I personally like it as bright as it will go but it can go so dim there is barely any light at all. Hope that helps!

No, it doesn't dim at night (although with a couple buttons you could turn back the brightness). In my GMC Sierra I don't find it objectionable, bright enough to see during the day & not blinding at night. Which screen you use (or load one of your own as a jpeg) has a lot to do with how bright it is (or isn't). And the unit is the size of a double-DIN bay.

sometimes it dims by itself and sometimes it remains bright. I have not yet found any manual means of controlling it.

I think thaty that I have seen that it was Dim-able. I use mine where I need a lot of light. Like the area to eat and cool. They have enough light that even when fly tying you do not have to have a close light.

It only dims the light as a lampshade would. I use the light for my main light in my bedroom and I am very pleased with the amount of light it offers - more pleasant than a center ceiling light and it provides more light than the average table lamp.

The low setting is pretty bright. I wouldn't be able to get to sleep if it was on right next to me.

It's a pretty soft light. However in a pitch black room it would seem pretty bright. I use it to light up the bottom of a stairway when I go downstairs in the middle of the night,and it lights the whole area. Say a 6ft circle. But it's not a blinding light even if you stare at the shade. You might consider one with a dimmer switch or install one on a corded lamp (check youtube). I love mine. I'll probably get another one at some point. Hope this helps.

I have only had the unit for a couple of months - no problem with dimming - only use it a few minutes a day, tho.

My radio has 4 settings -- off, dimmest, dim, and bright (names may not be exact). So you can turn off the back-light and it is dark. The next level, dimmest, casts a very low light, and the other 2 are bright in the dark. I turn it off at night so there is no light at all.

Yes. Very bright. You get used to it and it is worth it for me due to the functionality of the unit. It has solved a problem for me and the blue light is a very mild annoyance.

It's pretty dim. The light diode is pretty small. It doesn't even the up the area around the outlet it's plugged into.

I wish I could give you an accurate answer, however, new have only had the light for about a month. We really do love it. It is not blinding light, but a very soft accent lamp. We have not noticed any dimness of the light since we put it out. I have recommended this light to my family and friends, and would do to anyone who is looking for a non-wired light!
