No "default". It's either Off, On (to a user defined brightness) or Automatic.


Automatic, if the "Automatically illuminate keyboard in low light" checkbox is ticked in System Preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard. "Low light" is determined by a light sensor located to the left of the FaceTime video camera on the top edge of the display, the illumination threshold is not adjustable.


Manual will be dependent on pressing the bright/dim keys on the keyboard, automatically mapped to the F6/F5 keys on the top row.


Display brightness can also be set to automatically adjust, with the "Automatically adjust brightness" checkbox in System Preferences / Displays.
