| LED Replacement for Jansjö Ikea light |

Hello all! I bought a Jansjö work light from Ikea. I like the light and I wanted to use it on a small aquarium I have but the color temperature doesn't match another light on the same aquarium. I think it is 3000k and I would like it to be around 6500k. I wanted to see if it was possible for swap out the led for a different one. I haven't yet pulled it apart yet because after reading about other people taking them apart is sounds a little finicky plus if i cant replace it I don't want to risk breaking it. I did however find another post on here of someone that has taken it apart. There seems to be different versions of the chip inside this lamp but I'm pretty sure this is the same one i have. I think it's a SMD 5050 LED? Correct me if I'm wrong. So my question is: Can I just find a replacement for this board with a 6500k LED and just do a straight swap out? I tried looking online but I could only find leds on starboards. None of them had the extra components soldered to them thou, just the led. OR would i have to de-solder the led and replace it with a different one? If so, do you have any tips for doing that? I've never soldered anything that small the the surface of a board. |

Just FYI, since the PCB is aluminum heatsink board, desoldering will be a bitch. You’ll probably need to preheat the board, and then use two irons to remove the LED. |
