I looked around to see if the PW3 had the same issue and it appears that it does, so you see geekmaster coming up with the extensions to turn the lights off. It seemed to me a pretty well known trait of the PW's that the frontlight can only be set very dim, but not actually off.
Is there really any practical difference between "a bare glimmer in a completely dark room" and "off"? When the light is on its minimum level on both my PW2 and my Voyage I see not the slightest difference in screen brightness when I put the device to sleep (which turns off the light completely).
