Is there a way to adjust the brightness of the fingerprint / power button back light?

I am able to adjust the back light brightness of the keyboard, via Fn+Spacebar. However, this will only adjust the keyboard brightness and the white back light of the finger print / power button does not change.

This can be adjusted in the BIOS in 3 levels.

Is there an option to reduce the brightness even further, e.g. through ectool? In very dark environments the lowest level is still distracting.

EDIT: ah, `ectool led power off` can at least turn it off entirely from linux, which is perfect for my use-case 🙂
