It's evidently a crapshoot with Surefire.
It's not just Surefire. It's almost every flashlight company that makes LED light.
I don't think enough people know that each LED made can have a very different tint then another one of the same make, model and bin(both flux and tint). LEDs are made, and then sorted for tint, output, and sometimes forward voltage. They aren't made to a specific tint, they are made then sorted. Many flashlight companies buy from many different tint and flux bin, it's probably cheaper that way. Some companies only use a specific flux bin for certain lights and a few use specific tint bins too, but even the ones who use a specific tint and flux bin can still have visible differences in tint.
A LED light not having the tint you read about in a review, post, or picture is not the fault of the flashlight manifacturer.
