Light on magsafe charger

Hi all not sure what the problem is if in fact there is one.
On my macbook it has the magsafe charger, when i plug it in its goes orange and starts to charge= fine. Bright green when fully charged. Now what i have noticed is sometimes when i plug it in it turns green but not bright green like when its fully chraged. Im just wondering why it does this? Anybody get this with theres?

Thanks.

Does it go back to the normal green if you unplug it and plug it in again?

No if i unplug it and plug it back in it goes back to orange. Its when its charging.

The Light can occasionally indicate the charger is doing its job, but after approx 9 months the thing just goes screwy, my light is perma-dead , unless i twiddle the cable abit and then it will come back on, although this has no bearing on its charging ability works just fine regardless

I'd say unless OSX says its not charging then just ignore it.

Well thats the thing it also indicates that its not charging. Strange thing is its about 9 months old too lol.
