About 8 weeks ago I sent in an E1L and my KL4 from my L4. The E1L flickered coming out of regulation, and that was fixed no problem. I didn't expect much from the donut repair.

However, much to my surprise, the donut is what I would call 95% gone. If I'm looking super hard on a white wall it's there, but nothing like it was. The emitter isn't centered in the reflector anymore, and I wonder if that's how they fixed it. However, the hot spot isn't off center, so I don't know.

I'm just glad it's gone! :)

this totally amazes me. I returned a recently purchased L4 just for this reason. donut and green tint. For a company that touts a flawless beam and charges 165 bucks it is inexcusable to me. and to see that they know about the problem and attempted to fix it by moving the led instead of solving the problem at production is amazing. Though I once had an L4 without these problems when they first came out I dont know what is happening with Surefire it is dissappointing .
