I need some advice regarding high powered LED chip and boost step up/down modules.

Firstly can a boost device be used with constant current drivers to reduce forward current to chip?

I have a 72w LED chip @ 26-31v @ 2.0A, I also have a driver 80w @ 30-36v @ 2.4A, I wish to reduce current to around 2.2A so is it possible for me to do this?

This is the boost convertor and this is the driver.

Another thing how do i know what the current level is when adjusting via potentiometer?

Some boost devices have a digital display to show voltage/current when stepping down or up, how will I know exactly what the outputs are when I reduce or increase them?

Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated.

That's not what a voltage-booster is designed for, so no.

how do i know what the current level is when adjusting via potentiometer?

I would use a multimeter (assuming that's a preset)

By looking at the digital display? If the boost converter lacks this, I'd use a multimeter. If I intended doing this after initial setup, I'd consider adding panel meters to the circuit.
