Hey There!
First a bit of a context:- I am totally new to this SMD LED stuff. I have no Idea what kind of Drivers to choose or anything like that in this regard. So please bear with me here.
How do I do calculations of the drivers for my future projects and builds.

I want to build a 20 Watt LED Light Fixture for my Planted Aquarium.
I have got these 5 Watt SMD LEDs here (Four of them following the simple math - 4x5=20). I do not know any technical specifications of this but All I can see is that there is written X17-20 and 0502 on the PCB its attached to.
Also there are a total of 10 small Illuminating things inside that big yellow circle (I saw these when I tried hooking one of them to a driver I had Lying around with an Output of 12.22 Volts at 0.5A which equaled to 6.11 Watts which is bit higher than the LED though the LED Lit very dim).
So I really do not understand what drivers should I use to achieve the maximum brightness out of it. How to hook them up together to achieve what I want.
Can I use any of these lying around? Yes or No? and Why?
