I personally can't think of a single good use case for wanting to set a specific brightness. This is not something I can imagine wanting as a user. To me that feels like a website reaching a hand out of my screen, opening my settings and moving the slider back and forth. As a user, that just seems wrong. That's an OS-level concern. The only exception I've been able to think of is this screen barcode scenario. And the only reason I would be OK with that, as a user, is because it provides a very specific utility: It temporarily _turns my phone into_ a concert ticket, boarding pass, etc. Under no other circumstances would I want a web app to mess with my screen brightness. The truth is, even in _that_ scenario I don't love the idea of a website having that power. But I'm perfectly happy to temporarily give it the power to transform my phone into a replacement for a paper boarding pass. -- GitHub Notification of comment by HenrikJoreteg Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/wake-lock/issues/129#issuecomment-440133487 using your GitHub account
