adding a resistor (or a potentiometer if you want to make it variable) will lower the brightness

edit -- although, there are built-in resistors to keep it from burning out.  only want to mention that to avoid confusion, last time this came up in a thread and adding resistors were mentioned, i had several people email concerned they needed a resistor in their kit or it would burn out.  it won't, there are resistors on the PCB of the frontlight.

is there any way to modify the amount of light from a kitsch gbc screen?
mine is unusually bright.
