Dell keyboard backlight files/properties are located in /sys/class/leds/dell:kbd_backlight in which file named brightness has integer value which determine state of keyboard backlight brightness. In my Dell laptop there are 3 states of keyboard backlight.
To turn off:
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/brightness
To turn on with low brightness:
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/brightness
To turn on with full brightness:
echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/brightness
