# Point Brightness
Read the brightness of a LED on the [LED screen](/device/screen).
```sig
led.pointBrightness(0,0);
```
## Parameters
* ``x`` is a [number](/types/number) that means the
horizontal spot on the LED screen (from left to right: 0, 1, 2, 3,
or 4)
* ``y`` is a [number](/types/number) that means the vertical
spot on the LED screen (from top to bottom: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4)
If a parameter is [out of bounds](/reference/out-of-bounds) (a value
other than 0 to 4), this function will return `false`.
## Returns
* a [number](/blocks/logic/number). If it is `true`, that means the LED is on. If it is `false`, that means the LED is off.
## ~hint
The LED screen is a solid square of LEDs with five LEDs on each side.
To learn more about how you number the LEDs with ``x`` and ``y``
coordinates, see [LED screen](/device/screen).
## ~
## Example: Toggle off
This program turns the center LED (2, 2) off it is not bright enough. (If
it is already off, this program leaves it off.)
```blocks
if (led.pointBrightness(2, 2) < 100) {
led.unplot(2, 2)
}
```
