Watts aren't a unit of light.

Previously, light bulbs could be rated based entirely on their energy consumption. A 60W light bulb consumes 60W, and produces light accordingly. A 75W light bulb consumes more power, and produces a little more light.

Newer bulb technology like LEDs and CFLs consume less power, but produce a greater number of lumens (or candlepower). Thus, light bulbs are starting to display the lumens, one of the units for measuring light intensity.

Note that the readings can be misleading, as the lumens shown may have a weird distance compared to other bulbs.
