MARS leds can pull big GPW!!

Hoping to convert one of their eBay 60x5 300w models.

Ripped open one and snapped some photos. My electrical knowledge is lacking, but it looks like 2 60w 55-100v 700mA-750mA drivers with 2 outputs. The 12v DC fan is 350mA, so it's getting double the juice?

I'd like to put 2x cxb3590 72v in here, 4 36v would be more ideal, but the 72vs cut the initial cost by ~$120 at the sacrifice of 1600lumens. Not a huge sacrifice. Area would be for a 2'7"x2'7" tent, 6.7 sq ft, would cut light electricity in this tent by 300w, and keep about the same lumens I have now.

wow , what an odd setup. heres what i see
( 4 ) x 100v // 600ma drivers: too small for 3x cxb or vero. consider 2 x cxa/b 3070 or 3590, vero29 fill remainder of Fv with any monos (630,660nm)
( 1 ) x 12v // 1000ma driver : too high for 'most' monos, consider cree xml2 or xpl high kelvin as blue supplement, will run 3. (possibly 4 in practice. )
Couldn't I run 4 of these as suggested by @Rahz (one off each driver):

This is for a 2'x2'x6' space, maybe a little overkill.

I was hoping to find a cheaper version of 72v cx's, because at $64.60 a piece i might as well start fresh. I was hoping to keep my budget under $180.

I got 4 3590 3500k in a 36"x20x60" tent with 80 degree lenses sitting 2ft above i had to turn down to 100w due to light bleaching. Lenses im figuring amplify but if your polishing that mars turd im sure you can up the wattage a bit. Just giving you an idea of how sweet the 3590's are.
