Just picked up the Ulanzi M10 magnetic light and even at the lowest 10% brightness setting it’s still way too bright for reading in bed or using as a subtle night light. Here’s a simple, reversible trick that worked for me:

1. Gently pry apart the diffuser cover from the light panel - start in the middle of the long edge, not the corners. There are small notches/indentations molded into the housing right there (see photo) that make it much easier to get a fingernail in and get things started.
2. Once you’ve got a bit of a gap, use a larger blunt, flat tool to carefully work around the edge and pop the diffuser the rest of the way off. Only use flat, blunt tools - an old gift card or a plastic spudger works great. Don’t use anything sharp (knife, screwdriver, etc.) - you risk scratching the housing or damaging the clips. Go slow, it’s just clipped in.
3. Cut a piece of regular printer paper (or a couple layers if you want it even dimmer) to the size of the diffuser.
4. Slide it in between the LED panel and the diffuser, then snap the diffuser back into place.

The paper acts as an extra diffusion/ND layer and cuts the perceived brightness down noticeably, even on the 10% setting. It’s fully reversible too. Just pull the paper back out if you want full brightness again.

Way easier than messing with the internals, and doesn’t touch any of the electronics. Figured I’d share since the low-end brightness curve on this thing seems to be a common complaint.

I've had the Nexus watchface installed on my Vertical 2 for a while now, no issues. Out of nowhere it switched to a totally different screen: big time display, heart rate, ascent, distance, and battery percentage — nothing like the actual Nexus face (sunset time, weather, date) I've always had.

No activity is running, so it's not the exercise recording screen.

What I've tried so far:
- Swiping in any direction — nothing happens
- Pressing the middle button before swiping (heard this "unlocks" touch on newer firmware) — no change
- Soft reset (holding the upper button for 12s) — screen still stuck on the same layout after reboot
- Deleted the watchface from the watch and reinstalled it fresh — no change

In the app, Nexus shows as "In Verwendung" (in use), but on the watch itself it clearly isn't rendering that face. My suspicion is the sync didn't fully complete, but re-syncing hasn't fixed it either.

Anyone run into this? Is this a known bug with a fix, or should I go straight to a hard reset / contacting support?

Edit: it’s back! You might have to delete and reinstall the watch Dave, though.
