some good ideas here already. i just wanted to suggest that if ur going to open it, the option of adding a small resistor in series is also there. thatll lower the current going thru the LED and make it darker.

When I opened it there was room for the LED and not much else. It was soldered directly to the board. I did consider it until I saw inside.
Nail polish. Couple layers of black and you can tune in how dark you want it
I've had good success with small pieces of electrical tape cut so that a very small part of the LED is still exposed.
Yes. Return rate influences future product design.
Nope, i sleep with a 1000 watt equivalent led bulb on all the time.
Do you have noctophobia?
If you have all the lights on, that one little light won't bother you as much because your pupils aren't dilated.

Translucent cellotape over the led? Or small translucent plastic piece taped over it?
Not sure if it would affect air circulation thi
