What is the approximate life expectancy (in hours) of the LED in the Surefire L4? Also, are replacement LED "bulb" assemblies available if/when the LEDs burn out?

The 5 watts are rated for 500 hours unless it has changed. Surefire would replace a burnt out LED under their warranty.

Really? Have you asked SureFire?

"Burnt out" to me implies the part died before it should have. I was under the impression that Luxeons do not burn out, they just dim. If burnt out means broken then if it breaks, SureFire will fix it.
I don't think SureFire fixes worn out parts though.

Perhaps somebody can call SureFire Tech Support and ask about this please?
