but power is a work measurement, in electricity its P=IxE, if you know the power and the voltage, then its I = P/E. so the variable is the I or the Amps, 50 watts is 4.166 amps at 12 volts or .4166 amps at 120 volts. but either way, 50 watts is still 50 watts. as you increase the voltage the current will drop. This is the primary reason the power companies run such high voltages on there transmission lines.
