Why would you need to adjust it so often? When I turn on the light, it comes on at the last setting I used and I rarely change that setting. I'd suggest giving your eyes a chance to adjust for a few minutes before changing the brightness. Admittedly, the only time I use the light is in the bedroom and the XYL prefers pitch black as the light level for sleeping so the ambient lighting is pretty consistent at non-existent.

Perhaps you should be pitching for an automatic screen brightness control? Add a sensor and adjust the brightness based on ambient light.
