For the one your taking apart and redoing, or doing a complete new build?
Speaking of the first mention, why redo it if it's a working light, and your replacing pretty much all the internals?
If I remember right you've got the drivers and cobs, all you'd be missing is heatsinks and a few frame pcs.
Imho I'd just build a complete second light and have extras, or more lights in the grow.
Give your new light a bigger footprint than the old one limits you to building in.
Or is there some other part of it, or consideration I'm missing that sways the decision?
Happy to help if you have questions about any of it.

I'll max at 80 w. haven't ordered the drivers yet I'll cover the build here as well as my complete setups I got here mid grow & haven't made my methods & equip clear as I should of have

Do the drivers have their specs listed on them, there should be a tag/sticker or some such that states their voltage and current ratings.
Depending on what they are they could be repurposed and or used.
Maybe save a few bucks.

They are 27-56v constant current drivers I'm getting them from online components.com I'm on the fence as to run 480 or 400 w my cobs are 50v 2 of the xlg 200h-ab will work too has same voltage range the price for them is $46 - $49 each xlg drivers cheaper than hlg series will be running my cobs parallel I'm not above running a refurbished or even a used driver if the deal was right the xlg series I guess is pretty new I've been consulting a few people more experienced than me this is my first attempt the mA on the xlg 200 is 3500 & the 240 is somewhat higher but will work with room to spare as well

The purple primate is definatly outproduce the juice & starting to smell but I'm not sure if the quality is gonna be as good as the monkey juice we got a ways to go yet & I've got decisions to make soon as to what im gonna run & possibly a 3rd tent for the little california light works light & that would be my max IMG_20200309_200528.jpgIMG_20200309_200231.jpgIMG_20200309_200115.jpg
 
My favorite 2 phenos cloned & under the t-5 in 1 gal pots the monkey juice is larger & branchier than the purple primate in spite of the primate being the first to root monkey juice on the left is getting some training of the branches early on in preparation for the scrogIMG_20200310_100459.jpg
