Hi, is it easy to replace/swap emitter inside DX P60 Cree Drop-in? since there are no Q5 drop-in available yet i am thingking of buying and swaping one.

Thanks

They use those circular stars, like sku.3417. You'd probably have to do an emitter swap, instead of just a star swap.

Thanks for the info. Can i use needle sholdering iron to remove the emitter?

I remember hearing somewhere that the emitters on their Seoul stars were just thermal greased on instead of epoxied on, but I don't know about their Cree stars. If you got a Q5 star, you could probably just desolder the emitter's legs (yes, a needle/conical iron tip would work best, along with a desoldering bulb, Soldapult, or copper braid) and gently pry it off the star with a thin razor/exacto knife. I can't tell exactly how the emitters are connected to the drop-ins' circular board, but if you didn't care about saving the old emitter, you could probably just rip it out with pliers and jam the new one in somehow. If you wanted to keep the old one intact, you'd have to experiment.

I might try it. Thanks.
