There is no way to adjust brightness that I am aware. Work in an office with 2 ywo tube flourescent fixtures and have no problem readingnumbers

The numbers cannot be dimmed, However in daylight they are plenty bright to see, I can see them well without my glasses.

as far as I know the numbers cannot be dimmed or brightened. the numbers are bright enough in a lit room. very Bright light makes the numbers appear dimmer and harder to read.

I purchased this for home use. I know of no way to adjust the lighting, but have never had a problem seeing the numbers. I use it both in a sunny room during the day and then with home lighting in the evening. My only problem with the adding machine is the fact that you can not use it with batteries.

Work just fine. However I have found only to check the dim was the only time I have dimmed. Look great and easy on the eyes. Hope this helps.

You can brighten or dim the light. If you dim it all the way it appears as if it is off.

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.

No it's not dimmable! Apparently... I've burned through 2 of these over just a few months. I suspect it's because I had them at dimmed. The description says they aren't dimmable, and that seems to be the case.

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

I have not experienced the dimming problem they described. I have noticed that some of the colors are not as intense, red specifically. Other than that I run it for hours at a time and have no problems.

The picture looks deceptive. They are not dim. Just use a higher wattage bulb and you will achieve the brightness your looking for.

Sort of . . . The numerals illuminate. White characters on a black background. You can use it in the dark.

There are 3 brightness settings, high, med and low. At its brightest it is equivalent to about 40 watts, some colors will make it look even dimmer.

I am sure they will dim. they are just a regular incandescent bulb. you will likely not want them dimmed tho. They do work very well.

they have a remote that will bring up the brightness/dim as you needreading.. yes.. but.. with white lights we use these for undercabinent lighting in our kitchen as an accent and lighting for nite/ambiance

No dimming that I know of. I would say that it would probably be too bright for a bedroom.

They are not made to be dimmable. They do dim but then burn out as a result of multiple dimming events.

You can only control the brightness by leaving a bulb (or bulbs) out (it takes 3 bulbs), or changing the wattage of the bulbs you are using. There is no "dimmer" switch, just on or off.

Brightness control should be numbered 0.1.2.3.4.5. 0 should take it off and 1 turn onn and continue 2,3 ,4 to brighten

My calibrated setting below produced a fantastic picture:Backlight: 80Contrast: 78Brightness: 56Color: 39Tint: -3Sharpness: 25All video processing like smooth motion, auto brightness off.Smart Dimming: OnTempest 790 put in a review in June of 2013 and this was his settings. I followed them and then made slight adjustments to fit our viewing. But, They as he left them are great.Hope this helps in your setup.
