The answer is yes and no. You have option to turn off the light but it is still bright in the off mode. I wrap a hand towel around it to hide the lighting. The machine works awesome though so it's okay by me.

Yes there are 3 modes. It can be constant, blink slow, or blink fast. Hope this helps!

Hi! No matter what angle or what dimmer setting - I can't read the display. It seems that the back lighting is too bright and everything is lit. Instead of 8:30 like the picture on the left here says... my clock reads 8:88

If you look at power save options you can adjust the brightness I believe. I had similar issues, but the brightness is usually enough in power save mode that I don't have an issue with it.

Hey Tom, if you haven't seen it yet, here is a you tube video that shows you how to switch modes. Hope it helps. Bubba Earl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQsRdH8IP_0

Mine has (3) modes:1) High2) Low3) StrobeOnce the flashlight is on, just "tap" the on/off button on the bottom and it will switch between each of the 3 modes.

SO I got one of these for my wife...its a simple device and works as expected..the issue is it it TOO BRIGHT at night. We have the dimmer set to mode 3 with -15 level and ON. and it is still WAYYYY too bright at night. Other than powering it off or covering the touchscreen with non-adhesive window tint any suggestions?

I had the same issue. Turns out one of the switches was the kind that glow when the power is off so you can see it in the dark. These allow a small amount of energy through causing the lights to flash. Replace the switch with a normal on/off and you should be good to go.

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

Yes, you can turn it off. There are three different settings, keep pushing the button to make it brighter and to turn it off.

You can turn this light off. The switch also allows three separate light levels, though they are all very "soft."

Thanks to you guys, I know why my modem's flashing orange! So an ENORMOUS thanks for making it an easy answer to find! I figured flashing orange would be something horrible and catastrophic... Who thought to use orange? Couldn't they have just used the green or something??Now... to figure out why it always used to flash blue before today... sigh...(edit: for future reference, my ethernet between my modem and Airport router seems to have spontaneously died- just swapped in a new cable and it's blue again!)

I did. But the touch system (to turn on, brighten and dim) no longer works. I have to plug and unplug to turn on/off and no longer have the dimming feature. I'm not certain that the bulb is the cause.

Mine changes when I turn it off & turn it back on. It will flash when I turn it on, then when I turn it off, then back on, it changes again, then it will do it over again. Try turning it off, ten back on & see what it does. If it keeps flashing all of the time, you must have a defective switch. But I'd try turning it off, then on. That supposedly changes the mode it is in.

OK just bought these and had the same problem. The simple fix for me was the 3 position color switch on the side was set to the middle position - which equals off. Once I slide the switch to either blue or green, they both worked fine. Hope this helps.

One mode is just off and on. Some have multiple modes... High... Low... Strobe. I've ordered from the same people twice and got both types. The three mode ones work great so I reordered and got the one mode and they are a piece of junk so beware.
