How to brighten the screen?

I know this is silly but is there a way to set the screen's brightness?

F2 turns it up, F1 turns it down.

If you have the aluminum keyboard, that is.

Sorry, I wasn't very specific. I don't have the aluminum keyboard. It's a 20" iMac... not the latest version, the one before.

F14 and F15 will also do it on the older white keyboards.

Although just as easy to find in System Prefs>Displays as stated before.
