C8 convoy build

Good morning guy! been a while since i built some lights and I wanted to get some input on component selection as i am a little rusty. I have a C8 Convoy with a Cree red XP-E2 led ( that i still really like) and now want to build 3 more C8s with white leds for night tracking. Here is the list of what I have so far but am struggling with finding the right led to fit. Would like to stick with mnt elecs if possible.

3 convoy c8 hosts

3 qlite rev.A 7135*8 3.04 A 17mm driver ( think this is with the 2 7135 chips removed and the flash guppydrv universal selections…can anyone confirm??)

from what i see the led i need needs to be on the 20mm Noctigon MCPCB

Any help on selecting the correct white led setup would be much appreciated!! thanks

A 17 mm driver board can take up to 4 pc. of AMC7135 regulators per side.
You want more, stack them. So 8 is normal maximum, 4 on each side.
You have not (yet) mentioned the contestants for the white led title.
I won’t go in that rabbit hole, since I am colorblind.

just a bright white would be fine I just need help selecting one off of mtn electronics

Yes, any of the 20mm MCPCB on MTN would be good. It depends on what you want. I went with a CREE XP-L HI way back when (Convoy C8 Mod - The WOW Factor ) since I was building a thrower.

If you have 8*7135 drivers, in my opinion, that would be good enough so you don't need another driver. If you only have 6*7135 drivers, I'd consider one of his FET drivers. Recently, I had to search for an LED that I'd get the max lumens out of at 2.8A in a light I decided to leave as is except for the LED. The LH351D produces more lumens say than an XP-L HI, Nichia 219c, etc. and has a high CRI. This light is a little larger than a C8 and here's a beam shot of mine with a 4000K emitter.

However, if you do buy a FET driver, buy an SST40 in 5000K or 6500K. I have an SST40 6500K in a C8+.

I run my Convoy C8+ with the Convoy 5A driver and get 1800 lumens with the SST40 6500K and 1560 with the 5000K, I personally love the 5000K since the 6500K has green on the lower levels.

XPL HI runs cooler, and gives the best range on all levels, SST40 almost matches it but only on 100%.
