<![CDATA[This LED lamp is way too bright.]]>This LED lamp is way too bright. Should I a) reverse engineer the firmware in the unknown microcontroller or b) just replace the 500 Ohm resistor with 1K?

I have a lamp that had 3 useless lighting modes so it took 4 clicks to turn it off, and I replaced the whole microcontroller with a resistor and have no ragrets.
