The closest available option is the lcdproc load screen which turns the
backlight on or off  see: lcdproc.conf.

[Load]
# Show screen
Active=True
# Min Load Avg at which the backlight will be turned off [default: 0.05]
LowLoad=0.05
# Max Load Avg at which the backlight will start blinking [default: 1.3]
HighLoad=1.3

The client language does not currently provide a brightness command
although brightness is supported by some drivers and can be adjusted
using the LCDd menu or configuration file for these drivers.
