One again I will go out on a limb and suggest relamping with parts from
www.suprebrightleds.com. I have used a number of their lamps and found them to be high quality and not too expensive. When I suggested these guys before someone else posted slamming them. I have not found his complaints to be valid, but experiences can vary. I have placed several orders and they have all arrived quickly and in good condition. Boards are fiberglass/epoxy and conformal coated. I have not had an LED fail.
With most of this stuff you can't buy the parts for what you can buy the end product and if your time is worth anything at all you are losing money to build it yourself. My opinion, of course. I'll shut up now.
In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.
