LED Corn Bulb Teardown

I have some extra corn bulbs that I'm not using and wanted to repurpose them. I started with a 120w3000k Rugged E39. I get decent grows from this bulb but I feel I can do better.



Here's what I have so far and could use some guidance on how to proceed.



From what I gather these are smd2835 LED and run 3.2-3.4vdc @20mA.

35 x 2 LEDs per aluminum strip. (Not sure if parallel or series). There are 12 strips for a total of 840 LEDs.



The profile is 10"x7.5". The plan is to attach this bank to a 12"x12" heat sink with external driver for a micro grow in 1.8sqft cabinet.



Any input on wiring logic for most efficent use of materials and space would be great.
