Lenovo PC, Laptops and Notebooks with a Backlit KeyboardBenefits of Backlit Keyboards
Lenovo’s backlit keyboard’s main advantage is their use in no, or low, light conditions. Each key is lit up from behind, so you can easily see where each character, letter and function key is. Aesthetically, they simply look good. The illumination behind the keys can also help people who aren’t touch typists speed up their keyboard input, or those with limited vision locate characters faster. Backlit keyboards are very popular with gamers, programmers, and for use on aeroplanes or even in bed.

Description: This article describes how to enable the backlight for the keyboard on a Lenovo Ideapad Z400.
Some Lenovo laptops have keyboard backlights, and they can be turned on using
Fn + Space . There are three states: off, normal and bright.
When I start Ubuntu, these laptops always default back to a burning sun screen brightness and the keyboard lights off.
I want a medium brightness and keyboard lights on by default, because I usually use this laptop in dark environments.
The backlight is easy. Internet is filled with information about this.
echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
But how do I turn on the keyboard backlights with a command?I've been looking here but it seems to do nothing:
/sys/class/leds/tpacpi::thinklight
Updates
I tried
for i in {1..32}; do xset led $i; done but nothing changes. Perhaps the keyboard backlight for Lenovo laptops has a proprietary driver and can only be controlled through tpacpi ?
Also tried
for i in $(find /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/leds/ | grep /brightness); do echo 255 > $i; done of no avail.

My T450s would not re-enable keyboard backlight upon resume with kernels older then 4.6. FWIW, with 4.6 now, keyboard backlight is set to the brightness it had before suspend.
