That's what I'm talking about dude.. :)

was it worth the effort? Worth the Money?

I don't mind turfing the LED's in there now..I'd just hate to throw out the whole works considerimg the Good drivers, switches and fans still in there...

Any strips you can recommend?

Cheers

You have two constant-current drivers in that fixture. A 60 watt and a 140 watt. Both output 700mA of dc.
Strips, boards, cobs, and single diodes all have a voltage requirement to operate. It's referred to as its forward voltage.
Constant current drivers need to operate in a series circuit. The output specs listed on each driver give a voltage range-that's where the driver is designed to operate. Find a strip that will operate @ 700mA and then use multiples of its forward voltage to see how many will fit in the constant current voltage range. Ideally, you will use all of the output voltage in that series string.
The trick would be to find a form factor that will fit in the fixture and then see if it's possible to use those drivers.
Hopefully, some other diy junkies will chime in on their preference for strips.
