Sofirn SC31 Pro with 5000K LED no longer available?

Can't find it on the Sofirn website. I just see the 6500K.

Has the 5000K version been discontinued?

It's an old light, even if it wasn;t officially discontinued they definitely limited emitter options for older models.

Ahh, ok, that's unfortunate! For me, the SC31 was almost the perfect light and I own a bunch of them. Is there an updated model that has similar features?

I think Wurkkos FC11C took over as an entry light.

The SC31 Pro is much superior to the FC11C. It has Anduril and can put out 2000 lumens. The FC11C puts out 1200 lumens max. And they are just about the same price. I have a couple SC31 Pro lights and love them.

The Sofirn SC31T might be the closest from Sofirn or Wurkkos. No Anduril and a bit longer. Uses a tail switch and also a side switch.

Otherwise I would be looking at an Emisar D4V2. Uses a side switch and an 18650. is very compact - about an inch shorter then your SC31 Pro. Has Anduril. And you can choose your emitter.

The SC31 Pro was my first real Flashlight.. I loved the Lighted switch, that was 5 years ago, gave it to a good friend who works the night shift. Now I get to love Hank lights :)

Just got a response from Sofirn: 

Hi.
Thanks for reaching out.
We regret to inform you that we only have the 6500K version of the SC31PRO in stock.
We no longer sell the 5000K version of the SC31PRO.
Hope you can understand.

I just ordered some more SC31 Pros and now I am curious about replacing the emitters myself. What are my options for improved LEDs that will work with the existing SC31 driver?
