Is there an app or option that can dim the notification light? Thanks
Light flow should be able to under "general settings." That is if the app has control over that aspect of the hardware. It is possible it cannot be dimmed if the hardware doesn't support it.

I compared my note 2 with 3 others and have realised that my note 2's notification Led Is much LESS brighter then the others. I have no idea why. But is there a way to increase the intensity or can anyone shed any light to why this can happen.
Thanks!

The LED brightness varies on external light source, if you are out in sunlight then it will be bright but if you are in a dark room the LED will be dim.
I think the third party apps turn them to brightest possible always, like Light Flow or Light Manager.
I have tried both the above mentioned app they dont have a setting for brightness just for colour and blink rate. Also i tried covering the light sensor to see if the LED would get brighter or dimmer but no change occurred .

I have the same problem and also the ambient light doesn´t change the LED intensity
Does the Notification LED light up when the phone is charging? Mine appears totally dead - no charging indicator, no notifications, no nuthin.
But then late last night I started getting notifications but still no charging indication.
Luckily I just got the shipping e-mail regarding my replacement phone.
My notification LED lights up when I get a notification, but not when the phone is charging.

Works for me
It works for me with Lightflow for all notifications, charging lights, etc.. You can set blinking rates and brightness levels.

LightFlow works for me too but it screws with the Ambient Display feature. I'd like to use both but with LightFlow it causes the Ambient Display to active for what seems like no reason at all.

Light flow works for me too but I notice when quiet hours are on in light flow, the LED still lights up. Seems that quiet hours in the light flow app turn off light flow but just cause Android system to control the LED again....

In Settings -> Display & lights -> Notification Light, there is a text that says "Always on" next to the notification color dot. When notification is triggered the LED light goes on and remains lit. Is this what "Always on" means, and is there a way to set the notification light to blink instead of being constantly lit?

install app Light Manager from Play Store
The notification led is connected to the ambient light sensor so in a dark room the led is dim, in a light room the led is bright.
However if you're out and about in even a slightly bright day and take your phone out of your pocket (which is dark) you can barely see the led because it's been in your dark pocket.
This isn't a hardware limitation, if you install Resurrection Remix or Liniage OS the led is bright all the time.
I'm running a stock based custom os because of the camera quality.
I just wondered if anybody has worked out a way to either disconnect the led from the ambient light sensor or even disable the light sensor all together... I don't use it.
I've tried the Xposed Sensor disabled but it didn't work on either BRF5 or ARC5

Turn off Automatic screen brightness? Is the LED not connected to the screens brightness level?
Ummm, actually when I said I don't use the light sensor, I figured it was obvious that I don't use automatic screen brightness (since it uses the ambient light sensor).
Anyway, no.. The led isn't connected to the screen, it's connected to the same sensor as the screen... The ambient light sensor.
You can tell the screen to ignore the ambient light sensor by turning off automatic screen brightness, that however doesn't turn off the sensor.. So the notification led is still controlled by the light sensor.
Have you tried any of the notification apps on Play or Samsung Appstore? There's quite a few free ones available on Play but I've never had the need to try any on this phone.
I've tried them all, I like lightflow the best.
They let you control the brightness up to 100%, but that's 100% of the brightness controlled by the ambient light sensor which in turn answers to the Samsung software.
*Sigh*, if I can't find an answer, I might take my balls in my hand and open one of the phones and physically disconnect the sensor.. It's only a cable with a plug.
I also have an S8+ and it does the same thing.

LOL, if you do let us know how it comes out.....the sensor not the balls.
Has anyone solved the troublesome problem?
I want to use a notification light app to replace the notification led (like LED Me Know). Do you think it can burn the screen?
