# Set Brightness
Make the [LED screen](/device/screen) as bright as you say when it is
turned on.
```sig
led.setBrightness(121)
```
## Parameters
* ``value`` is a [number](/types/number) that means how
bright the screen is when it is turned on, from `0` (darkest) to
`255` (brightest). For example, the number `127` means the screen is
halfway bright when it is turned on.
## ~ hint
The brightness is not supported in the simulator. You will need to try it on the @boardname@ itself!
## ~
## Example: change brightness
This program makes the screen brightness 100% (`255`). Then it turns on
the center LED (`2, 2`), waits for one second, and then sets the screen
brightness to 50% (`128`):
```blocks
led.setBrightness(255)
led.plot(2, 2)
basic.pause(1000)
led.setBrightness(led.brightness() / 2)
```
