I do know that different firmware versions drastically change the light output on the Glo. I can happily read at 28% even in a totally dark room. But when my Glo accidentally upgraded itself to 2.10.0, I had to set the light at 71% to get the same light output I was used to.

But it's up to you whether you want to go back to older firmware and then keep wi-fi off to stay there. I had no issues with the light being too bright on 2.4.0 or 2.5.1. It's also possible that eventually a firmware version on the Aura will change the light output as well.
