Decrease brightness when switching the effect to solid #119

Hi, I'm sorry about my weak English. I have the same problem as here. When I change the effect to solid, the maximum brightness is much darker than it should be. Maybe I'll show you step by step how to make a mistake, so maybe if you do these steps it will do the same to any of you. First I will disconnect NodeMCU from the power supply, then I will turn it on. Then turn on the white light in the Home Assistant. At this point, the light is on at maximum brightness. I then reduce the brightness to about 10%. Then I will change the effect to one, for example candy cane. Now I change the effect to solid and leds start to shine very dark, but the brightness is the same. When I change the brightness to 100% now, it's still several times lower than at the beginning. When I turn NodeMCU off again, I turn it on and turn on the white light in Home Assistant and it lights up with maximum brightness. What is the problem? How can I make sure that changing the effect to solid from another does not reduce the brightness of leds?
