Is there any way to do that?

Something like xbacklight and Cuttlefish

yes you can, using tlp:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tlp tlp-rdw

ThinkPads require an additional:

sudo apt-get install tp-smapi-dkms acpi-call-dkms

what you can do with tlp ?

  1. Processor and Frequency Scaling(you can set whether your laptop runs in powersaver or performance or ondemand mode. also you can allow whether your processor uses turbo boost or not)
  2. Undervolting
  3. Runtime Power Management
  4. Advanced Power Management(this feature controls how your various laptop component behave according to whether AC is connected or not)
  5. HDD spin down
  6. Automatic USB suspension

and many other power management settings. tlp changes settings automatically according to power supply is plugged or not.

its better to read tlp documentation before you use tlp, its written in simple language and step-by-step guide manner
