Lamp power numbers
Wattages is the plural of wattage, referring to amounts of electrical power measured in watts.
The term appears when comparing or discussing multiple power ratings, as with appliances or light bulbs: Check the wattages before replacing any bulbs.
Different wattages indicate how much electricity a device consumes or produces, with higher wattages meaning greater power draw or output.
