Hi guys. I am assembling my first multi-LED flashlight using a 3.6V-9V 3 CREE LED 3-Mode drop-in module and a TR1200 2*18650 host that I ordered from Lightake. I need info regarding this drop-in so that I decide whether or not I am going to replace the stock LEDs and the driver or just replace the driver. Since I haven't received my order yet so I've been trying to make out which LEDs they have in this drop-in from the photos in the product's description page but haven't met with any success. I sent an email to the support staff and was advised that these are these are either XR-E Q3s or Q5s but that they aren't sure either. Maybe some of you already have this or can help me identify them. Here's a link to that page:

DX seems to have exactly the same item at exactly the same cost but I can't get much info from their product details page, the reviews or product forums either. I want to get around 600+ OTF Lumens from my light using 2*18650 batteries. I figure that I'll be keeping the emitters if they really are Q5's and replace the driver with a better one if I am going to get anything near that. Otherwise I will be replacing the emitters with XP-G R5s. I saw a driver in KD that is supposed to be able to provide 3A output for parallel connected MC-Es and I am just wondering if these will fit and are any good. Here's the link to the driver:

I am also considering using DX SKU 26106 and doing a serial LED set-up. I really would appreciate your comments and suggestions on this as I am currently undergoing treatment for cancer and thus am working on a limited budget. Thanks in advance.
