How to turn down Power Armor Flashlight brightness?

[CharlieCheeseEatsTooManyCashews]

Finding the default power armor headlamp too bright. You can adjust the pipboy light brightness by moving the color sliders in unison, but the same doesn't appear to apply to Power Armor. Anyone know an ini tweak?

I always find that light is too dim. I think that's why there is a "bright" mod in helmet.. Strange you think it's too bright..

You sure you didn't mod your helmet and get that bright headlamp?

Lowest PA light is Purple if you haven't tried.
Red Tactical should've been the lowest but DERP programmers don't know that yet...

Also, once you get the Vampire perk, everything is too bright...

Yeah it's default, most people agree with you based on my googling, I don't know it just gives me this tunnel vision effect in dark areas. It's playable, but would be nice to change.

Thanks man that's good to know, I'll give that a shot.

I think some of the mods that affect it also have an option for lowering the light; like if you want it to go further and wider, but also dimmer.

Yeah it is pretty dim but I know what you are talking about with the tunnel vision, or atleast I experience that with the brighter headlamp (which I prefer) but still. I think a different color might help make it easier on the eyes. That vampire perk like the guy suggested with no headlamp may work just fine.

The basic PA light just turns you into a mobile streetlight. It lights a circle around your feet and no matter which way you twist and turn it still will not point forwards - or any direction other than down. How that works when it is apparently the 'eyes' of the helmet that light up is beyond me. Unless the suit actually moves constantly looking towards the ground, but the eyes are a 'red herring' of some sort, and the wearer really sees through the top of the helmet.

Most of the light in this game operates like that; it doesn't really emanate from a proper source, it just exists in a space and fades according to a strict algorithm.

I don't bother lighting settlements any more because the lighting effects are so disappointing, and so inconsistent, it's just frustrating.
