The "100 watts" is probably the incandescent equivalent of the florescent's 
light output. I would guess it is really somewhere in the 9-13 watt range 
for "real", which would be the number to use in your watts/gallon or to 
compare them to other florescent lights. The actual wattage should be 
printed on the base of the bulb somewhere, and on the package, but you'll 
need to find it.
