I've tried a lot of brightness widgets and my favorite so far is Q-Bright.
Super simple, looks clean, let's you customize each button's label and brightness percentage while always retaining easy access to Auto bright. It also looks nice aesthetically, which a lot don't. Others look nice but don't let you choose custom percentages or labels. This one is a nice marriage of all features.
Basically I find that in a lot of indoor and nighttime situations Auto Bright wastes a ton of battery by keeping the screen far brighter than it needs. For myself, once I am at home, or out at night going to bars or other houses, 20% is fine or even 15%. And not like barely fine but very good for my eyes. And after many tests, auto bright is noticeably brighter than those settings in the same light situations. So it's saving battery life. Since display is usually the number one battery user, it should be worth saving.
For Daytime outdoor situations I keep it on Auto Brightness. So once it gets dark out I pretty much just hit my 20% switch and I'm good for the rest of the day. When I read stuff in bed at night in the dark, i like 5%. So i have that button. In the morning when my I get ready to leave the house, back on Auto.
A lot of toggle widgets do the same, I just find this one to be one of the best. But it will save you battery life. You don't have to constantly micro manage the levels, that to me seems like way too much time wasting.
But if you tend to have a routine, it really works well. A change in the morning, a change at dusk, a change in bed.
