Macbook screen doesn't get dark enough

[johnnnw]

Sometimes really late at night I find the lowest setting is still too bright on my aging eyes.

Is there a secondary brightness control I can use to over ride and make it even darker?

Yeah I know what you mean.

I use a program called F.lux to warm up the screen's color temp.

If I need to really dim the screen I use this app called Shady. Check it out: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shady/id496549812?mt=12

Depending on the content, you can also invert the colors. Black on white becomes white on black. Good for iPads too.

Thank you, excellent advice!

I could do this, don't really like the look of it though
