I dimly remember the LED forward voltage voltage varies with temperature.
I think you definitely will need a currrent source.
I think the LEDs must all be connected in series.
Do you have LEDs that can carry 3 Amps?
2 serial strings in parallel should also be possible, but then the LEDs
must be selected and matched for forward voltage at a given current,
otherwise they will have different brightness and efficiency

RE: LED Chamber Lighting - drivers
outside the chamber

I am building some new 4 x 100 Watt LED
luminaires supplied by 35 Volts DC @ 3 Amps.
I'll LED you know my experiences in a few weeks....
I will try using a voltage stabilizer first.
If the terminal voltage varies much with temperature
a current driver approach may be necessary.
These 10x10 LEDS start at 28 Volts and draw
full current at 37 Volts, and create an awful lot light.

You need a constant-current source; how about an adjustable 3 terminal
regulator set up as one?
