Screen Brightness

[Skytown]

Is there a consensus on whether it is better to just set the screen brightness at a certain level or run auto-brightness? I thought that I had read somewhere that auto brightness can consume more battery in some circumstances.

I don't know if there's a consensus I use Lux which I feel is a better auto-brightness app than the stock app - it makes the screen brighter outdoors and darker at night. For me it's about eye comfort.
