Step 2Part 1: Adapting the fixture
Part 1: Step 1
Disassemble your fixture and measure the parts.
You will either be trying to mount your LED array off of the original reflector plate, or by replacing the glass lens with a plastic sheet that you can mount it on.
Part 1: Step 2
Use the dimensions taken to draw a CAD template of the array plate.
Any CAD software will do. If you do not have any CAD software I would recommend getting a free trial copy of [url=http://www.alibre.com/xpress/]Alibre Xpress[/url].
Draw the shape of the piece you want to make. Then add one hole the same size as the LEDs you intend to use. You can then duplicate that drilled hole in whatever pattern you want for however many LEDs you want. Just make sure to keep in mind that you will be wiring the LEDs in sets of 4, so the total number of holes will need to be a multiple of 4.
I went with a ring shape.
