The lux (symbol: lx) is the SI derived unit of illuminance, measuring luminous flux per unit area. It is equal to one lumen per square metre. In photometry, this is used as a measure of the intensity, as perceived by the human eye, of light that hits or passes through a surface.
Unit system: SI derived unit
Unit of: illuminance
American Customary units: 0.0929 fc

I have 100 diodes in this light so should be at least 300 right.?

If you have 100 diodes at 3w each yes it should be 300w.
one thing to bare in mind is that the blurple style lights are the least effective LED tech compared to something like a LUMATEK ATTIS 300w. Or HLG panel etc.
but if it’s true 300w you maybe ok flowering those plants.

up to you bud. Like I said im not an LED guru but there are plenty of guys in here that are.
try to stay away from BLURPLE panels and work towards getting something better.
there is an advertiser for the U.K. that sells LED’s here on Riu But I can’t remember their name.
Check for RIU advertisers sections and check out LED U.K. etc. They sell really quality panels.
