What's a Watt?
Barbetta: FAQGood question. The answer can be different depending on which manufacturer you ask. Technically, a Watt is the unit of power that was created by James Watt, the inventor of the Steam Engine, over 200 years ago. It is equal to 1 / 765 of a horsepower. This can be converted to electrical power using some intense math that we can skip for now. But you can get an idea about it if you consider a washing machine with a ? horsepower motor. It will take about 380 Watts of electricity to drive it.
top What is a Watt?
FAQs of Compact Fluorescent Light BulbIt's important to understand energy use in lamps when you choose from today's full array of lighting technologies. The amount of light given off is measured in lumens. One lumen is the equivalent of the light given off by one candle. A watt, on the other hand, is the amount of electricity a light bulb uses to produce light - it's not an indication of brightness.

Why only run at 1 Watt?
Bisun digital servicesThe original design intent was for a very long-lasting caving light, to use in conjunction with helmet-mounted batteries. Running at 1 watt gives more than enough light for most people - many cavers actually use medium power (1/3 Watt) most of the time. Running at higher power, the relatively small subjective benefit of extra light has to be balanced against significantly shorter battery life. Twice the output wouldn't usually *look* twice as bright.
