FastLED apparently makes it very annoying to utilized a separate brightness between the 2 different led strips. Right now the led brightness setting for the strips will affect the board led brightness. Some ideas to fix this include:
1) removing brightness control all together for the strip (every possible config can be created by the user using the 3 led values anyway.
2) Always using maximum brightness and calculating the brightness adjusted values for the strip and/or board before setting the color.
3) Make another attempt at using the following suggestions (https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/wiki/Multiple-Controller-Examples)
