Modify a LED fixture.

[evoIX_Reefer]

I have a the following fixture, no name.

I have a 120w led black fixture, 40 x 3w bridgelux leds. Unit was made here in Atlanta, GA for me. 10k LEDs on the first channel and 460nm actinic on the other. 2 switches and grounded cords to plug in. Can do dusk n dawn effect.

Can you modify an already made fixture like this as dimmable and change out the LEDs for a more blues/uv/reds?

Currently, it's about eye comparison of a 10k. I have always preferred a 14k-15k look to make the corals pop but not 20k where it's TOO blue.

I could always buy a new fixture but if it's doable then I'll just keep the fixture I have and have a learning experience along the way.

You can change the LEDs. If it isn't dimmable now you probably have to change the drivers if you want to dim. Probably cheaper to buy a new light.

Most of the newer fixtures use pc board circuitry for the mounted LEDs so changing them out is close to impossible for a novice.
As usctom stated, your much better off getting new units and absorbing some of the cost by selling these.
