I'd advise against trying to change out the LEDs on this bulb. Without knowing the detailed specs on the driver circuit & LEDs in there now, your chance of getting it wrong is probably not worth it. Different colour LEDs often work on slightly different forward voltages (Vf) and the lamp you have are all a single colour. Who knows how they are wired up, how many in series, parallel etc.

You're better off using these bulbs around the house or maybe over a refugium where the warm colour will help grow algae.
