Ah, I see!
The design of this light now has a hollow pill. The old one I have has a separate non-hollow LED pill to screw into what now looks like not having an inner threads no more. So it has not been removed for the photo, like I first thought.
The driver seems to be still the same.
So the LED star in your light will be sitting on the little ridge and have only thermal contact at the circumference, which is not good, even with a copper star. You may try to press-fit a copper disc or better cut a tread and screw in a copper disc to underfill the LED star, but I really don’t think it’s worth the struggle.
Sorry for my ignorance.
I shall better look at details in photos.
I just modded one of these with a 6A driver and round die led. If you’re going to swap the led and driver, you must improve the heat sinking. Look for my thread on here Swapped
