You need to open it up and get the specs off the drivers first. If its one of those chinese cob lights, its actual draw is probably around 120 watts? so likely only will run one or two good cobs. but we need the driver info to answer this. That also mean the heasink is only good for up to the actual draw of the current chips. You might be able to run 3 CXA 2530 or 3 Citizen 1212 chips ( I need to check the actual part # for the 1212 )

I did find out that if you take an old computer power supply gut it out and flatten those 2 openings are perfect size for the fans and the middle can be used for the drivers

CXA 2530 would work with those drivers, 2 cobs to a driver. 525ma is perfect for 2530's.

So which one do I want or will all versions of the cxa work?

Probably your best deal with cxb2530.

1212s from CDI are probably a better deal than mouser 2530s.

Those will work with my current driver?

Yes, should pull right at 35v each at .5A, so 70v for a pair in series.


Should be 48-49% efficient with the cxb2530 90cri 3000k t2 at .52A.
