Yes, 1000 lux is far too little. "bright" is supposed to mean "direct sunlight, or similarly bright conditions that make it hard to see things that aren't high-contrast". Based on Wikipedia's lux table <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux>, I'd set "bright" to start around 10k lux. Similarly, "dim" is supposed to mean "dark enough that the light produced by a white background is eye-straining or distracting", so 300 is far too high (given that it's roughly office lighting). I'd have it start at 50 lux or so. ~TJ
