Wattage of LED panels

Not being a trusting soul, I got out my meters and did a little measuring. On a panel advertised as about 13 watts with 225 bulbs I measure about 7MA per bulb. Strings of 25 are running at about 50 volts. Thats some where 3 or 4 watts total.

On a panel sold as about 48 watts, I get 46MA per bulb. String of 28 bulbs at about 65 volts. Total of 112 bulbs. Some where around 10 watts total to the LEDs.

Seems to me these panels are about one forth of advertised. Could they be advertising them bases on the LED rated wattage, then running them way lower?

BTW, I am having good luck growing with them.
