Aye, they look like suitable emitters. Going to be very yellow with a 3,000K colour temp, but you can balance that with your blues. You wouldn't want to drive them at full tilt of your average 1000mA driver though, as that's their maximum rating, you need to be below it you you get heat issues. The Black Cat drivers I refer to in my DIY thread are good for them, being 970mA at max (a safety over-head is built in for you), but Buckpuck and MeanWell drivers will need "Turning down" with some form of dimming (I think, can't remember their exact specs...)

All the best

Buck Pucks I have ordered have dimmers on them I went for the highest lumen warm white I could get so I can run them lower hopefully 70% - 80% ;)
