The fixture construction has nothing to do with the amount of energy that the fixture uses. It is the lamp in the fixture that draws the amperage. This amperage times the fixtures voltage is what gives you the fixtures wattage. W = A x V. Watts = Amps x Volts.

The light fixture does not consume electricity. It is the light bulb that the fixture holds which draws the power. The light bulb draws the same amount of power regardless of which position it is in.

It does not matter what configuration the light fixture is in. The wattage consumption will be the same.
