Something is telling me 25w. Simply based on what I remember when buying it. I recall it was vastly oversized for the pond. my question I suppose was is it possible that this 25w unit is running at 16w as per the label.
It says on the label it is fitted with a 25W lamp.

•25 Watt lamp - Approx 435mm long x 26mm diameter - G25T8
