Okay, I see it gets considerably brighter with time. However, this
seems like something of an annoyance if I want there to be light
*now*. Sort of like revisting TV's that need warming up or something.



On the other hand, it has the advantage of not immediately blinding you
when you flip the light on in the dark.

It takes some adjustment, but after a few weeks, you'll probably no
longer even notice.
