There is more variation in human eye sensitivity than difference in overall LED brightness per device model. The Glo HD _is_ extremely bright at 1% compared to the newer models. It was too bright for me in darker rooms (let alone complete darkness) as well.
Robko’s picture is a good way to compare _relative_ brightness, but bare in mind that the camera will have adjusted its light sensitivity to optimise picture quality. Absolute brightness will be different to the eye. The other pictures by Stuartjmz, while kind, aren’t very useful for comparison as the camera’s light sensitivity will have adjusted differently for each individual picture...
...unless of course Robko and/or Stuartjmz anticipated for this and switched auto-adjust off... but I would’ve expected them to mention that if they had.
Having said that, there are also other reports on this forum somewhere regarding brightness. From memory I think Jackie_w confirmed that her Forma at 1% brightness with white light was brighter than her Clara HD with the same settings, _but_ the Forma at 1% brightness with orange light was significantly less bright than the Clara with the same settings...
