Set/change brightness based on power source

Mint 17.2 Cinnamon with HP Probook 6550b

Is there a way to have the brightness adjust automatically based on the power source? For example, if on A/C power the brightness is at 80%, and if on battery it is 40%, and have it automatically change when the A/C power is connected or disconnected?

I only see one brightness setting in the control panel in Cinnamon, but if I boot into live KDE there are two adjustments and it works properly, so I am assuming it is possible, or am I missing something here?

I found an easy solution for this using two small pieces of software, if anyone is interested I could write up a tutorial with screenshots and post it here and in community.linuxmint.com

Edit: Tutorial written and submitted, just awaiting review and I'll link it here.
