Click the Specs tab and it reveals the 8A
That's 8A at whatever the forward voltage of the LED array is. Total power consumption is <720W, so the mains power supply is going to pull about 3A at 240V

Is there an idiots guide to this anywhere so I can pretend I understand a bit more? A quick skim suggests forward voltage is what it takes to kick it into life vs what is actually being drawn and used but that's probably wrong.
Edit; found this saying that LEDs etc don't follow ohms law etc https://lednique.com/current-voltage-relationships/iv-curves/
But this seems less an idiots guide and more a fairly capable person's guide.
CYOA
I want to run a couple of these outside through a window looking in. Plugged into mains at the location (which has various 13amp sockets):
