Sofirn 21700 C8F swap for white flats , is voltage a current the same as the original XPLs?

Yes. I guess the tricky part is re-flowing the LEDs onto the XP sized MCPCB and then take some tail readings to figure out the best cell to use so you dont over drive them. Here’s my 18650 version:

Finally got my 3x White Flats in my 18650 C8F. I had a virgin PCB from the 6 LED light I built. It was much easier to reflow on a new PCB with less solder and some flux. With extra long 20 gauge wires (for re-flashing) and MTN-17DDm FET+1 driver. Both ends bypassed. Get about 13.x amps on a lightly used VTC5D for 144kcd - way more satisfying than the shaved SST-20’s that were in there before. [image]
