Are the LED light on these lights replaceable? I just noticed my LED lights are not working. I am assuming the Bulbs need repalcing. any info is appreciated

It could actually be any number of problems. Send it back to Surefire.

For example, are you certain you have inserted the battery cartridge the right way?

The main light works by pressure switch as well as rocker switch,only the led's dont work. Im going to call Surefire in the A.M.

The LEDs being Light Emitting Diodes require the batteries to be install the 'right way' as they only accept the flow of battery juice from one direction whereas incandescent lamps aren't fussy which way they resist the flow of battery juice from.

With the M900 for example; putting the batteries in the wrong way will allow the main incandescent beam to operate but prevent the LEDs from operating.

Thanks for all the great info. I double checked the batteries and low and behold they were in backwards DUH!! I I figured since the main light was working that the batteries were in corectly. Oh well live and learn. THanks for all the replies.
