So as the title states and this turned out to be harder than it sounds task, been trying to find a driver for an LED fixture I have that came without a driver. It requires 350ma at 6w and 17v. I cant find the exact driver with these exact specs but wondering if 300ma will work or if 8 watts will work. the voltage is not always advertised and not sure if this will also be adjusted depending on the bulbs draw as long as the ma and watts are reasonably close to the required specs. Any recommendations on a driver is greatly appreciated.
 
You need to match the current, 350mA is quite a common value. The voltage will adjust to drive that current through the fixture, so long as the driver is capable of it.

A little higher wattage driver will just run at the 6W, but be aware a much higher wattage driver will be capable of putting out much higher voltages (can be several hundred V) that the fixture might not like.
