Power is measured in watts or milliwatts; a milliwatt is one-thousandth of a watt. Companies often tout total watts by summing the wattage of all bulbs on a device, but this total number is not meaningful without considering the area over which that power is distributed.

“power is measured in watts or in milliwatts which is one thousandth of a watt... you may commonly hear of a company touting 900 watts of power they are simply taking the Watts of all the bulbs on the device and adding them together by itself this number does not mean much”
