Weird issue - IFD stays 100% bright when it’s dark out but goes dim when I briefly shine a flashlight into the photocell(opposite reaction). When it hits the dimmest setting, the unit snaps back to full bright!
 
I made a movie but we can’t upload those.

Can't help you with the dimming issue, but for the video...you could just upload it to YouTube and share the link here.

You can send me the video.  Also take pictures of your lighting configuration page (Maintenance mode) and the Setup Page Display category settings (flight mode) and send those to me.  slindsley at avidyne dot com.
