[Elecraft] P3 Turn on Blinding Flash

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

The display uses an LED backlight so nothing is being stressed.

Subject: [Elecraft] P3 Turn on Blinding Flash

Just wondering:
My P3's 12v DC comes from the K3. First I turn on my power supply then the
K3. The P3 comes on automatically as per the setting.
When the P3 comes on, the LCD display is like a flash cube! BRIGHT.
Then it dims down to my normally low brightness setting.

To me it seems like this would be hard on the panel's back light.
Are my concerns unfounded?
