what i don't know is the output watts.....

It should be 3w diodes.

i still don't know how much output watts i'm getting with my 240 watt led lights...
does anyone know?

There is really no such thing as output watts.

It appears your light manufacturer is claiming that light uses 125 watts but puts out as much light
as other types of lamps that use 240 watts. Simply put diodes are bulbs.

Just google the specs on that LED light. I think I know the ones you have. And You will need to keep them close to get good results

you led grow light should say or the company you bought the light from should be able to tell you the actual wattage drawn. you say it uses 125w? that would be your output in watts. that doesnt mean much either seeing that you dont know the angel of the lens nor the par output of the lights. always look for actual wattage and the par output. I use two different led lights and they both work great.
