I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I use only once in a while. I turned it on and it flashed, then dead. I thought I broke it. It went from blinding bright to nothing. I put in new batteries and it was fine. Do all LED lights do this?

Interesting.
To answer that last question, no. Typically and unregulated LED will only be brightest on fresh batteries, and the light will dim as the batteries drain down.
A regulated LED, which is one with a mechanism that regulates light output, will have a constant output for the life of the batteries. Typically, in my experience anyway, regulated LEDs usually have a “replace batteries” mode when the batteries are about to die which is much dimmer so you know to change them and also aren’t left in the dark.
I do not know if the x300s are regulated, I can’t find anything about it.
