Trust me… I’ve seen this before at work. But lower voltage and lower power would be cool!!! :-D

Wattage is measured in, well, Watts. You don’t measure Voltage in Watts, but you use Voltage to calculate Watts. So if a device has a lower operational Voltage then the number of Watts consumed is reduced as well.
