My question is how it works? Can you adjust how much light it produces in relation to the ambient light level or does it just do its’ own thing? I ask because I wonder if the light level it chooses could be too dim or bright for some people particularly those with poorer sight, night blindness etc.
I hope my question makes sense. Thanks

Both the Voyage and the Oasis have an option to automatically adjust the frontlight level based on ambient light brightness. To train it, leave it in auto brightness mode and adjust it brighter or dimmer whenever the automatically set level is not what you want. Eventually, maybe quickly, it will learn to set it correctly for you. If it doesn't, you may have to give up and always set the level yourself.
For me, the 2 problem areas are when ambient light is starting to get too dim to read by, in which case the automatic level is too dim, and when it is very dark, in which case it is too bright. That may be because I am not in those environments often enough for it to learn or it just can not match my preferences. It works well enough for me on my Voyage and Oasis 2 for me to leave it in auto mode except for those cases.
Because results are different for different people, you just have to try it yourself.
