Does anyone sell an XM-L2 on a board that will drop into a Zebralight SC600?

It's been a while since I've done an emitter swap (my first swap was "upgrading" a Fenix L2T to an SSC P4) and don't really want to reflow a bare emitter just yet. I was wondering if any vendors sell a neutral XM-L2 on a board I can just screw into my SC600...

Picture of the OEM emitter and board:

Check with Vinh.....he's done this IIRC.

Can Vinh replace the switch too?

I did an emitter swap recently.

I reflowed the LED and it is actually very simple.

I my case, I used a sinkpad I cut to size, but the original heatsink will work as well.

I wasn't aware the SC600 came apart. Ah, I see how the bezel unscrews now based on some photos.

I wonder if the MK II can come apart easily too? Does not look like it. The stainless retaining ring in the top looks like the point of entry. Yuck.

Do you per chance know what the dimensions are of the stock board?

It's approximately 8.5mmx15.25mm.

Just checking a few things here:
Can I reflow an XM-L2 onto a board made for the XM-L?
I'm looking for the brightest XM-L2 emitter that would still appear pure white? I'd be a bit warmer than a bit cooler: Should I go 5000K T6 or 6500K U2

you may have to cut down a copper sinkpad, i'm not sure though
