buy a kil a watt plug meter ... it will display pull of any device plugged into it. $13 bucks
I guess maybe I can explain a little
More. So this is my first grow and I’m doin a cfl grow. I currently am getting toward end of vegging I’m current running 12 2709 k 23 watt and 12 6500k 23 watt bulbs. So an actual 562 watts. Was goin to flower on the exact same setup and see how it pans out. So now this led light is this only good for supplemental light. It’s a 2x4 tent with 3 plants. Or is this led ok for flower and not flower with cfl.

I'd just finish with what you've got going. Almost 600w in a 2X4 of CFL wil probably yield half decent

It might say the actual power draw on the back of the LED, or if it has a brand name google it and read the small print.
Other than that get a kilowatt meter as suggested so you know what you have.
It could be anywhere from 130-240w .
If you have the height you could hang it above and use some of your cfl as side lighting up close.
You might find with cfl the plants don't stretch much, a bit of stretch when you flip to flower would be beneficial to your yield and the LED would have them stretched out more.
