Are you sure you just don't have different brightness levels configured for different powersaving profiles (systemsettings->advanced->power saving)?

(In reply to comment #1)
You are right - of course but my mean is that manually setting of brightness should has higher priority than powersave profile especially in case if I set low level of brightens. It's little bit strange for me if battery reach low level warning and brightness is increased.
