Does it have another marking showing Volts and Amps? Watts=Volts*Amps.

yes it says if you look closely at the picture
I see the Volts in the picture, but not Amps.

It says LED quatitiy 240x3w, but does that mean there are 240 LEDs actually driven at 3w each, or is that 240 LEDs rated at 3w?
Then only way to know is look at the manufacturer's spec sheet or find a marking that shows the Amps of electrical current.

What is the manufacturer and model?

Well, if you don't know the specs on the light, you will most likely give the plants either too much light, causing stress and possible damage, or too little light, causing stretching and low productivity.
 
no brand name on it mate all it has is this ac-85-265v but I have grown 4 auto flowers under one of these lights in 11lt pots with no problems before

I dont think it would be too much light for them as i never had a problem with the autos but maybe it can be too little light but if your telling me it is still possible to grow and harvest the 10 plants under two of these lights even if the harvest would be less I'd be happy

I can't make even an educated guess without knowing the true power draw. If you've finished 4 autos to your satisfaction under one, i'd just consider the footprint of the grow that was successful and double that footprint, spacing out the two lights to cover the new footprint. Just put enough plants in the expanded footprint to fill it up.

Good luck! Peace:peace:

240 x 3w = 180 watts max, 3 watt diodes usually ran at 0.5 to 1.1 watts per diode, then you have (2) fans onboard 10 - 20 watts per fan, so... if you do math....

(1) Drivers = 2 x 120 watts
(2) fans = 2 x 15 watts
(3) Driver Efficacy loss = 10% to 15% per driver

(1) - (3) [12.5%] = 210 watts - (2) = 180 watts max output at the diodes for that light!

thanks mate so what I'm thinking then is keep 4 under those two lights and the other 6 move outdoors. what would happen if I move them outdoors now considering we are in August i live in cyprus in the Mediterranean with nice weather
as Long as you have 10-12 weeks of nice weather left Outside is fine.

They should start flowering as soon as they reach sexual maturity and as long as it's not to rainy you should do ok. Watch for Bud Rot and Mildew
