What's the difference between this new V2 dimmer and the older design?

I feel V1 is superior. Form should follow function! V2 is aesthetically superior to V1 V1 is functionally superior to V2: * V2 pivots off the wall on occasion when pressed on edge due to aesthetic geometry & reduced magnet strength * V2 buttons can be pressed without activation (I frequently do and it's annoying) * V2 button functionality is easier to understand, however, less user friendly overall imo... I have to push the power button, then shift my hand to push a different button to change the setting. Seems simple, and it's actually quite annoying. ** V1, I just push the On button multiple times to cycle through scenes. No shifting my hand to find a different button. Simple and 'low friction.' The buttons always register a positive press.

Can this be used outdoors? If not, is there a version that can?

I’m using it outside in a box Plenty of humidity but no actual water contact and it has been working well

why is this priced higher than manufacturer and other stores?

A seller name Ellions is scamming Amazon customers by charging double the price claiming there is a "premium" version of the product (there isn't). He's been reported.

Does it emit any light whatsoever when it is turned on? I would like to power a fan with this at night and I don't want any extras lights in my room.

There is a dim LED visible through the housing (no visible lens) for 30 seconds when the power is turned on or off. Otherwise it is dark.
