As you know that I have a 300W LED non dimmable light fixture.
25 of 6watts blue LEDs and 25 of 6watts white LEDs . Assuming they are 700mA. I think therefore I need 150W driver right? How will I find out these LEDs are 700mA.

Yea you would need to know the current that they require. It may be more than 700mA. I think you would need to contact the manufacturer for that or look at the existing driver for current information.

Ya why don't I look at the driver itself. Thanks Martin.

Yea it should work. This one would be your closest match: http://www.modularled.ca/inventronics-700ma-96w-driver/

inventronics-700ma-96w-driver good for 24 to 44 LEDs at 3W each. But mine is 25 0f 6W each?

I could try and help you out, do you have any information on the type, model number or maybe where you bought your 6w LEDs

Yes the LEDs are capeable of 6W each but that would be running them at full capacity most-likely 1A or 1.5A.

That 96w driver is comparable to the specs you quoted. Perhaps are there two drivers inside the fixture?
