You can always open it up and see what the driver is, and use that driver for strips or cobs.

It really depends what kind of cheap lights you have. You might be able to reuse the driver, as sdfoster22 suggested, but you might also be able to use part of the fixture, heatsinking, fans, and even the PCB, depending upon what you have. I've considered doing this with a blurple LED panel I have, but it works well enough as is for vegging.

How come you’re asking to mod a LED light when you’re using an HPS? Do you currently have a LED light that you tried using instead of the HPS?
