Try flipping breaker off and see if it goes out. If yes, then (safely **) take apart the wire nut on the hot wire junction. Breaker on. If light still off all the way, bad switch.

If hot is off (disconnected or breaker off) and light is still dim, you have a serious problem where neutral is not bonded to ground somewhere.

** if there is a possibility that there is stray voltage involved, you need to be cautious not to be in the middle of any possible path between any wiring. Neutral to ground. Hot to anything.
