I need the LED gods on here to help me hack up 4 blurple lights. I want cobs around the $25usd or below price range per chip. What will work with these drivers? I have a total of 8 drivers, 2 per light. Honestly i've already disassembled everything and it looks simple. Keep everything wired as is and just mount and wire the chip on the existing heatsinks/fans. I can tap the heatsinks and whatnot to mount the chip. Does it need a holder or can they be mounted directly? Any help is appreciated, Thanks Guys!

Oh forgot to mention the fan has it's own power supply. 2 cobs per driver? Thinking maybe Citi 1212 gen 6 80-90cri. Is 30w a cob worth it or should i just find a better single cob per driver option? Sorry for a million questions i'm new to DIY led.

Go to the Lighting sections. There's folks there who are up on it.

Just out of curiosity, what are the dimensions of your fixture? Reason I ask is that I hacked my old King 1200w fixture and it had the same forward current rating on the drivers. I ended up using some Vesta strips-they are designed to operate at up to 1000mA so your driver will not run them too hard.

The heatsink is the same size as the fixture with a decent thickness. I got these lights dirt cheap, tried them one run on some auto's and now they're just collecting dust. I figure 2 36v chips per driver. So 4 chips running 30w each on 1 heatsink with active cooling. So total of 16 chips between the 4 lights. Someone shout out some of the vendors or DIY guys that can help me purchase 8-16 chips with thermal pads.
