Is there anyway for a pro to Fix the brightness on this unit? (dimmer function not useful)

No, you would spend more money than what the unit cost. There are several colors that are not near as bright, and work well during day and night. I am quite sensitive to light at night, and colors like the dark green don't really bother me.

No that is the huge issue with this deck, the only thing I have found you can do is go thru all the color options and find the least annoying ones for you.

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.

Never had a problem with brightness. Make sure you check your settings, some will make the picture dimmer. Also make sure the mirror inside the set is clean.

You can disable dimming with a switch in the base unit which my older version (with the same model number) did not have.

There is only one brightness setting. The only way to change it would be to install a dimmer.

make sure you turn down the dimmer level located on the front of the metal box - I didn't notice this at first but there is a dial that can be shifted from "-" to "+" Once I turned it down, I discovered my LED lights dimmed down to almost nothing, which was my goal.

You should be able to set the illimination (brightness) on your panel. It can go from dim to no lighting. *6, then code, then the > key (believe it has 3 settings, push the key for desired affect), then # to exit.

actually you cant, since it doesn't have a dimmer. your best option is to get a gel screen and stick it some how.

No. it does not have a dimmer function, just manual on/off and of course presets for auto. on/off.

John; call lutron tech service. They are very helpful. I install many dimmers and always call them for direction.

Hi- we have the EXACT same issue. On top of that we can't get the remote dimmer switch to work. How about you? We've been so busy that we haven't had time to contact Hunter Douglas. Paula

I had to update to the new dimmable switches. Home Depot or Lowes will point you to the proper switch. The Old will not work properly.

When I go to the Brightness menu I can drag the "ball" on the line from side to side to adjust the brightness. I hope that helps.

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.

I am not sure as I have not tried to add a dimmer yet. I would like to. Let me know if it works for you & let me know what dimmer you use

That's a great question!! If there is a dimmer feature, I have yet to find it.

Please be aware that there are special dimmers for LED arrays, if you use incorrect dimmer or voltage you will have delay, flickering or non function
