Too bad indeed that 50 mA is the minimum. Using the red led a few minutes beforehand to simulate a red sun rising - and maybe shock your eyes a little less - would be nice .

Or, as I mentioned before, you could use the screen..

I've tried the Alarmed/Lanterne thing yesterday, and I must say I'm not disappointed; if your eyes are fully adjusted to the dark by sleeping in a pitch black room for 7 hours 50mA is already pretty bright. I'm going to experiment a bit more to see if I would want more than 50 mA. I tried the 320 mA strobe flash btw, quite a difference indeed!

P.S.: I'm a dude. (Selene is the greek goddess of the moon - I guess Helios would have been a better pick regarding this thread )
