Various options are also available. Choosing which one is best from such a long list can be a chore. Power output is usually the main factor, but there are many others.

Watts are basically just a measure of how much power a device uses when turned on, or can supply.
If a something uses 100 watts, that is simply the voltage times the amps . If it pulls 10 amps at 12 volts, or 1 amp at 120 volts, it is still 120 watts. All wire has resistance, and amps flowing through a wire makes heat. If your wire is too small for the amps, you get hot wires. This is not usually a good thing.
