Hi David, according to Kevin's description in this thread,https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=200706

And while there is one light level lower, level 1, that the Glo never uses, setting the frontlight to that level causes flickering that is very noticeable in a dark room
That is to say, though the flashing frequency is not changed, but the feel to eyes will be flickering because of shorter LED-on time in one cycle?
