DIY Blue LED lighting?

You can get any size fan you want just has to fit on the fixture. I would use 2 per fixture but you gotta get something to power them.
That driver is too big you want to match the amount of volts but you can be a little higher or lower. The driver should also be slightly lower on the milliamps and your lights run at 1400 ma so you want the driver around 1200 ma but you can sure get a driver with those specs that looks like the one you asked about

Just look at the specs of the fans. If each fan runs on 12v 500 ma you can hook them up a few different was.
One way would be to hook them up each with their own driver that runs on 12 v 500 ma.
Or you could hook them up in series using one driver. Say the fans run at 12v 500 ma and you wanted to hook up 4 fans. You would need a driver that was 48 v 500 ma or around 500 ma. You would take the positive wire from the driver and hook it up to positive wire on the fan, then hook the negative wire from the fan to the positive of the next fan. So it would be +-+-+-+- and the negative wire from the last fan goes back to the negative wire on the driver.
Or you could wire them in parallel. Which you would need a 12v 2 amp (2000 ma) driver. And to wire that you just hook all the positive wires together and connect them to the positive wire from the driver. And hook all the negative wires together.
If I were you I would wire them in parallel.
