Has anybody done an emitter swap on one of these? I'd love to go with a higher CRI option. Also looking to smooth out the pencil thin beam without going completely flood. Suggestions?

The LED pcb appears to be riveted in place. Easy enough to drill out but re-securing it could be annoying.

That looks like an XP-E2 so any XP series or 3535 footprint should work. A larger die will produce a softer broader hotspot.

You'll probably have to reflow a new LED onto the existing PCB. Take a look on youtube for examples of how to do that with a hotplate.
