What does it mean if something is rated as 40W?

[QUOTE="CWatters, post: 4319530, member: 423469"] It also makes a difference if it's 40W peak or continuous. For example some hand held power tools might be capable of delivering 300W for the time it takes to drive in a wood screw, but if you used one to power a push bike it's unlikely it would deliver 300W continuously for your 20 mile ride to work without overheating. The usage pattern matters. [/QUOTE]
