Apparently watts pre gallon is an archaic way of rating lights so I'll pass the baton on to daize!

 
 
Absolutely correct.  The 'wattage' rating is all about 'power consumption' and has nothing to do with 'light production'.  In the case of our planted tanks (or marine corals) the most important thing to the plants/coral is the amount of light produced.  For our billfolds, the most important thing is power consumption, which shows why LED lighting is getting to popular.  Higher upfront costs, but lower costs over the life of the fixture.
