Bug Description
Backlight tuning with keyboard shortcuts has 10 steps.
On my system (DELL E5570), backlight at lowest value remains too high in dark ambiance.
The attached patch sets the step number at 30, instead of 10.
LUbuntu 17.10
xfce4-power-manager 1.4.4-4ubuntu2

When using FN key and arrows there are only 10 increments in the screen brightness settings. The lowest one is a black screen and the next one is already mid-bright for me. So basically it is not possible to set a low screen brightness level.
Using xbacklight -dec 1 I have found there are 10 additional levels between the two xfce4-power-manager zero nd first level. Please can you let us access these.
