Has anybody else has had the color beam on their SureFire X300 Ultra weapon light shift from bright white to yellow with time and use? My two most commonly used lights are yellow. I have cleaned them after use, replaced the batteries, + the color beam remains yellow. I have another X300 Ultra weapon light that has very little use + the color beam is bright white still. How can I fix this?

not sure how you can fix that issue without replacing the head unit.  my only X300U has seen a lot of use.  never had a yellow or yellowish beam.  lens has been wiped clean of powder residue many times.







are you 100% certain its an authentic surefire?






I would also contact surefire and let them know the issue you are having.

A lot of people don't realize this, but the LEDs vary in terms of color by batch.

One batch may have an ice blue hue, where as one batch may have a bright white hue, where the other has a yellow hue.

I've never head of the hue of the LED changing over time.

My black X300U-A is bright white while my tan was yellow and I HATED it.  So much so that I sold it.
