What is irritating about this is the backlight on laptops is usually the highest power item.

So on battery I want it to always be low power to maximise the battery life, I don't want it to continuously go bright when I touch my laptop as this consumes excess battery.

As I can't have that my display is always dim at the moment, so even on AC I am having a dim display and not utilising the screens ability.

It makes sense to have two power modes, on battery, and on AC. It makes absolutely no sense to use virtually the same settings on both. The GNOME guys are consistently going to far to reduce configuration.
