How bright is the indicator? I drive at night and need one that is not distractingly bright.

My husband uses this headset and drives often at night for long distances. He's never complained about the light being too bright.

I would say it is bright, not "SUPER" bright. It meets OEM specs and is bright enough to serve as an effective turn signal. You need to replace them every 3-4 years as the color fades over time.

They are easily noticeable from at least a block away. Real bright at night. More intense then factory car reflectors.

It's bright enough to see easily during the day, so I expect it would very bright at night. They've removed the flashing feature due to customer feedback so it remains on steadily when your device is on the pad. "Customizing" it with black tape should solve any night time issues.

It IS bright. Personally I do not suffer/care, because the box is strategically located in the kitchen, where all mobile devices meet... As an additional bonus, it creates ambient lighting there during nighttime. But for those putting it in the bedroom this might be a challenge...

Mine works great for any situation. I would do 250 lumen. The more light, the better traffic will be able to see you.

my opinion it is quite bright. It can make driver noticeable in suburb dark street. and many flush settings can help too.

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?

Not sure the lumens but it is on *whenever* I ride -- day or night. On high blinky in the dark it is annoying, but during the day I leave it on that setting and it seems to get attention.

It's not too bright at all. But if it bothers you, either take a black sharpie to it or buy the cable without the led.

It is bright enough to be seen during the day, especially if you have it on a flashing mode. It is very visible as night comes on.

Try the factory default. Very bright but very effective to my eye. Good luck. WO

It's pretty bright... But a friend at work does web videos and he recommends 3 light sources to minimize shadows. So, buy 3 of em.

It's probably bright enough, but it is a cheap China made product. Mine has not had a problem yet,but I'm sure it will in time. If you want it to last buy a more quality product. I have mine just for fun and it works well! Hope this helps.

No, it doesn't dim at night (although with a couple buttons you could turn back the brightness). In my GMC Sierra I don't find it objectionable, bright enough to see during the day & not blinding at night. Which screen you use (or load one of your own as a jpeg) has a lot to do with how bright it is (or isn't). And the unit is the size of a double-DIN bay.

Not sure about the exact lumens, but it's very bright and visible during the daytime. The unique indicator pattern is very attention grabbing.

Nope, it is still plenty bright. I'm using my macbook pro to answer this and looking at the backlight, it is fine. It's clear, so it doesn't really obscure anything.
