Hi Hans, I think this is the wrong thing to do.
The initial point of that first `brightness = 60;` is only to set it to
an acceptable brightness on boot. We don't want to prevent the user
from going below that brightness at all - this is just to ensure the
screen is visible on boot if the brightness was under that value, and
it is usually only under that value if it was set to off before
shutdown/reboot.
It's not to try and put the range between 60-255, it's just to make the
screen visible on boot if it was off previously. The folks who have
tested this have found that this is the desired behaviour they expect.
Cheers,
Luke.
