What is the order of brightness on this model? (off -> dim -> bright?)

No, it goes from off, gradually and incrementally, to very bright. The dimmer settings promote a more soft and yellow light and the brighter settings are more white. We love the lamp and have two of them and may buy another for our other house.

Actually there is a button for on/off and a knob for adjusting the color / mood of the light (Cool / Bright / Warm / Rest as indicated in the last photo of the product page)

There is an off/off switch, then a twist dial to adjust the warmth/brightness of the light.

Hi there, this lamp does not have brightness adjustment. However, the light color temperature (i.e. from cool to warm color) is adjustable and it is a continous adjustment by the knob located at the end of the lamp. It has no dimmer. I thought it had a dimmer before I bought.

It has a touch sensor for on and off .with a rotating dimmer switch, similar to a window wiper control on a car. It goes from a soft dim light to bright almost Florence light.

The brightness is coded "warm" "bright" "cool". Cool is like a flourescent lights in a doctor's office. The warm setting has a yellow-ish coloring that's very relaxing on the eyes in my opinion. You can vary the brightness between Cool & Warm by turning a knob on the arm of the lamp. I like this lamp very much. It works very well for me. I have it set in front of my computer on my desk.

The settings are a bit different than that. There is a white light setting, a yellow light (dimmer) setting, and the brightest setting turns on both the white and yellow lights.I have this in my office at work and love it. Our building has floresent lighting, and I like to turn off the overhead lights and just use this lamp.

To directly answer your question regarding order of brightness:1) On/Off switch, self explanatory.2) There is a knob on the very end of the wand holding the LEDs. In its extreme clockwise turning would be its lowest setting.3) Turning this knob counter clockwise will change the brightness. I don't have any meter to measure lumens and honestly, although turning this can brighten the lamp, the way I would prefer to describe it is, it seems to change the frequency of the light. Moving from a very mellow yellow, thru a white light, thru almost a sterile white light with a hint of purple. It's 'clean' and bright but I wouldn't describe it as low-med-high To directly answer your question regarding order of brightness:1) On/Off switch, self explanatory.2) There is a knob on the very end of the wand holding the LEDs.

Not exactly sure, but had a new set in and left it on high mode for 3hours straight and did not dim. Fwiw

Not sure what you're referring to..."soft start"? But it does turn on gradually to the level at which you've previously set. You simply press n hold to increase light brightness then release. If you press n hold a second time, the light will begin to dim gradually until completely off (must be an incandescent light, not to exceed 500 watts). Once you're happy with how bright or dim you've set the unit, and it receives a X10 "on" signal, the light will turn on to the brightness you set it at. Most people just put it on full brightness.

4 modes if you count "off". the "on" mode is very bright although there could well be a decimal point error in advertised lumens. It is too bright to look into (unpleasant in "flash"). Would anyone recognize "SOS"? Looks well made. I liked the first enough to buy 4 more. AwlDwg

There is no real "brightness" to this lamp. It provides a nice mellow light. Suitable for recreational reading, but no late night studying kind of light. There is a foot switch on the floor, where you tap your foot on it and it turns on or off. Mine does not have dimmable lights. Just flat on or off. Hope this helps:)

It's an auto adjust feature. Go into Settings / PC and devices / Power and sleep / turn off auto brightness. I had to do the same thing because it was driving me nuts.

The lighting on the LED numbers can be dimmed. It sounds like this could be happening. Have you tried hitting the "snooze" button? That will dim the numbers each time you press it until you can't see it anymore. Press it again and it should light up bright. Hopefully that helps!

There are two similar switches, like this one. The D in the model name signifies dimming capability.

Sorry, I didn't play around with the adjustments (don't even know how to do them). I'm happy with the levels and don't recall how bright it was before. Love how well it dims my led cans.

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 don't know how the brightness is being figured. I do know that my first DeWalt portable light was their DW919 18V Flexible Flood Light, which I bought with the LED replacement bulb. I was very disappointed in this combination because the spot was too small and it was hard to use as a stand-alone light. I then ordered DeWalt's DCL050 20V Handheld Area Light, which has a very easy to use two-stage output of 250 or 500 lumens. This is a great light. I was sorry I ever bought the DW919 18V, which I still have.

My calibrated setting below produced a fantastic picture: Backlight: 80 Contrast: 78 Brightness: 56 Color: 39 Tint: -3 Sharpness: 25 All video processing like smooth motion, auto brightness off. Smart Dimming: On Tempest 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.

I believe there are three digital display settings, and the darkest one is off. But I haven't tried that because I want to see the time in the morning. I have it on dim and it's great.

When I turn mine off at the lowest brightness setting then turn it on later it comes on at the lowest setting again. Also you don't need to turn it off and on to change the setting, all you need to do is press the switch very lightly to go thru all brightness's strobe and SOS.

It starts at brightest. And regardless of when you shut it off ie. What mode its on it starts at brightest when u turn it back on. I have to say I love mine. For the price it is worth it. It's not everyday I get to use a flashlight as good as this. This has become my go to light.

If you set it correctly, when it gets dark it will come on dimly then go bright at the time you select then go dim again when you designate that too. Neat!!
