HLG-150H-36B will give you 4.2 A - the max of AC-RC:s 60 watt multichip - I supose it is this you have. If you do not want to run in max mode HLG -150H-42B will also fit and give you 3.6 A

If not more s--t happens - I´ll probably will have the first of Jannes solution to test upcomming weekend.
Probably I will leave the hospital tomorrow and be able to start my builds of the dream chip.
For all who missed the opportunity to get v1.0 Dream Chip - now there's a new chance.

Can you put up a link to your chip you have now so I can see the spec?

I do not know if it is possible to make those drivers dimable.
I have not buy from that vendor so I do not know if it is quality or not - anyone else may have experiences of their stuff. Please post.

This chip is max 1.5 A and therefore only 50 Watt. The one 60 watt I linked to is able to drive up to 140 -150 watt if you want. Your tank is swallow and I would test without lenses. if you run one 60 watts I linked to with 3.6 A (app 125 W) and this chip you allready have - at least test, Driver for the one you have - LPF-60D-42 should work

Should work... get the 36-B series. The driver will do a constant 6.7A /4 =1.67A @ chip the spec. says 1.75 max. You should get the opt. relay to shut the driver off completely. Also a fuse to cut power to the other chips, if one chip fails.

what size fuse would u recomend, between driver and each chip
Something like this, or if you can find 1.8a fast blow. http://www.amazon.com/Pack-Fast-Blow-Fuse-250v-GMA2A/dp/B009KORO9W/ref=sr_1_19?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1350261094&sr=

First, i would like to thank all that have contributed to this thread.
I'm working on my second multichip fixture. The first was very basic, this new one is something different. Hope you all like!
There are a few more pictures in my gallery if anyone wants to take a look.
Also, here are some picture i took of my first fixture with a flir.
