The range for the frontlight on the Kindle PW2 is between 1 and 24. Personally, when I'm in a dark room, I can't see the text of the reader well enough to read unless the light is at least at level 7--and for the most comfortable reading, I usually have it set between 9 and 11. I know other people here read in the dark at between 5 and 7--not sure if I have bad eyes or the light is a little different on my reader. But, to your point I'm sure you'll be able to set the light low enough.
