OS X 10.7.5. Do you have any advice for someone who has done everything you have suggested and also has installed Caffeine, yet it still keeps dimming? It dims immediately after I click off of the display brightness screen. I've even seen the ball hauntingly move on its own toward the left right after I'd dragged it to the right. It's scary, and annoying because I cannot work on a dark computer. Any advice would be appreciated. Unfortunately, this does not work for me. OS X 10.7.5.

If you combine this with disabling the automatic brightness adjustments based on ambient lighting, you can have relatively decent controls over the brightness level. I wish Apple made it easier to just have a brightness slider depending on the power source, but for now they don't other than just hitting the F1 and F2 keys yourself in conjunction with the above options.
