Any solution for this please

If the ambient light is bright enough it shuts off the keyboard back light.
Take your hand and cover the Facetime camera/light sensor area and test.
Try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
You can also Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
NVRAM (or reboot.) notice among others:
USB Device: Apple T2 Bus
USB Device: Touch Bar Backlight
USB Device: Touch Bar Display
USB Device: Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad
USB Device: Ambient Light Sensor
USB Device: FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in)
USB Device: Apple T2 Controller
I'm having a similar issue with my 2018 Macbook Air. Suddenly the keyboard won't light up, but only if I'm logged in as a user. If I don't log in, the keyboard lights up fine. Resetting the SMC didn't work for me. I'm hoping Apple fixes it in the next OS update since it doesn't seem to be hardware related.
