the numerical number is the effective watt-second rating. Though, this should be ignored. The true watt-second is what matters. The effective watt-second rating is more or less an outdated terminology that still exists for marketing purposes.
AB1600 has a 1600 Ws rating or 640 Ts rating
AB800 800 Ws rating or 320 Ts rating
watt second ratings between manufacturers also don't mean much since there is no standard rating, especially when factoring in the reflector design. It's similar to tire tread wear ratings, which are only relevant within the same manufacturer. 240 treadwear between a Toyo and a Yokohama tire will not be the same. Same goes for a 320 Ts rating between an Alien Bee and a Chimera unit.
