I found another way to control brightness, which also allows completely off:
PHP Code:
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd flIntensity 0
turns the frontlight off.
PHP Code:
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd flIntensity 25
sets it to max brightness.
Notice that the first method has a range of 0-999, whilst the second uses 0-25.
Also, we discussed this in the past for the original PW1, but the /sys location was different:

Perhaps the lipc method may be more consistent across kindle models?
