It has to do with light coverage, but the same could be said for a 6' x 6' area covered by one 1000w lamp vs. two 600w lamps. The two 600w lamps will cover the 36 sq ft better than the 1000w lamp, but will not equal to 1200w total.

Well said Veo and I agree with Mord and Zing there is alot to consider to achieve the proper lighting for an area and obtain the desired results.
We are conditioned thru out life that 2 + 2 =4, but not in this case, except for the electric company, doh!
