Scott, they mean brightness 75watt of Incandescent light bulb while it uses 
only 20watts. It's only to compare. So you use the 20watt number.
Bob, you don't have to discount anything. Number of Watts has nothing to do 
with output of the light bulb.
It is like this : P = U x I ( P= V x I in Canada ), Power = Voltage x Current

sure i might be wrong  :-)
