KA1 light compared to early releases of Kobo Glo

Just wondering if anyone with Kobo Aura One has an early Kobo Glo to compare the front light with. More particularly, the lowest brightness level on each.

A little background....
I haven't had any real justification to buy a new ereader, since mine is working 5 years on, pretty much as well as day 1 (especially as I haven't updated the firmware in 2 years ). But I realised I have a whole bunch of unused gift cards for Indigo/Chapters that would mean I could get a nice large KA1 without splashing out.

I have wanted a waterproof ereader since the first H2O, love the idea of a big screen for reading at home, and like the idea of adjustment levels of the blue-ness of the light, BUT! It's really important to me that the lowest setting for the front light is VERY low. My Kobo Glo was a bit disappointing in that respect as when I am having insomnia, it wakes me up more. I have incredibly sensitive eyes and am prone to migraines, so the low setting can't really be too dull imo.

I will eventually make it to my local chapters, but as I injured my foot and can't wear shoes/boots, plus there are mountains of snow outside, it might be awhile before I make it there. So if anyone has those two devices (particularly the original glo that people complained was too bright), I'd appreciate a comparison sooner than I can make it in person.
