10.8.2. Step 2

10.8.3. Reference

from microbit import *
from enum import *
from led import *
led = LED(J1)

while True:
    led.set_led(1,100)
    sleep(1000)
    led.set_led(1,50)
    sleep(1000)
    led.set_led(0,50)
    sleep(1000)

10.8.4. Result

LED lights on in 100% brightness for one second and 50% brightness for another sencond and lights off for one second after powering on and it continues working in this way.
