I just received the aaa orange. It has this terrible offset to the hotspot. Looks like the led is misaligned to the reflector. I can't find thru search about prying the led to realign. I thought I read where someone successfully used soft material to repositon the led. Color is nice tho. Yeah I know "prying" may not ne the correct word. But you know what I mean.

LOCO is more like it.
More than likely the die is off center in the LED. The only real solution for that is a new light, I'm afraid. Unless... does the LED itself LOOK to be off center? Or just the beam?

My guess is that you'll want to send it into Arc for replacement.

And we are sold out on the orange. I never did like them, which was one of the reasons we discontinued them.

I am yet to see a orange 5mm that I truly like.

Go with a white, you'll probally like it more.
