Looking for a driver for my led fixture

Hey guys I'm looking for a drive for my led fixture. The only info on it is 80-130v 520 ma. I'm having a tough time finding one. Any ideas where to look? If I can find one I may get something dimable. Thanks in advance.

What I know about electronics would fit on the head of a pin, but I do believe that the two Meanwell drives that I’m aware of, their milliamp output is adjustable….so they would fit your requirements. This could be true with other brands, but again, I only know enough to be dangerous.

I'm in the same boat when it comes to electronics.

It's a blueline 120 watt fixture. Here's a picture of the driver. It supply's 35 white LEDs.

What happened was I replaced some white LEDs with blue and other color LEDs. They were lighting up correctly but now are not lighting correctly they are very dim. But when I plug that string into the other driver they are as bright as they should be. So I am assuming the driver is bad
 
The info on that driver is something to be desired at best. The 80-130V is more than likely the input voltage. The mA doesn't matter at this point really but that driver is probably a 60 Watt max. What you need to know is what the led voltages are and are usually 12 or 24 volts, but the voltage does matter when getting a new driver. If you are going to dim, what kind of dimming system? There primarily 2 types, 0-10V dimming, Line voltage dimming. Also you do not want to exceed the max wattage.
