"brightness 3.2" sounds utterly wrong to me - 1.0 should be realistic (provided
that the implementation is correct in this respect... I'm not perfectly sure
whether it is though; but what I've seen so far when comparing to MCPov output
suggests values even below 0.3)

If you think the thing is too dark with brightness 1.0, maybe you may want to
check your gamma settings?
