Brightness ESP8266

So I know there is another issue with the same topic but it seems to be pretty burried so I don't know if my comment will even reach anyone who can help me. Feel free to delete/close this one if that one is still accesible. So I need to know is there any way after all this time to just tone down the brightness a bit as the strip starts running pretty hot pretty soon, and it's way too bright. I've heard that it's possible to implement a matrix operation into the python code, but I don't have a lot of experience with python code so I can't really do that. Thanks in advance!

What i did is to go in the "lib" folder and then edit config.py. Change the number in line 16 " 'MAX_BRIGHTNESS': 250, # Max brightness sent to LED strip" to something between 250 and 0, that worked fine for me.

Does @biejay 's solution work for you?

Hello, sorry for responding so late, but no it didn't work, I tried that too but that is ONLY for raspberry pi. I however switched to ledfx witch is using this library and just got over the unchangable brightness :D Edit:BTW, I'm kinda new to github, so should I close the issue or keep it open?
