I know that dosen't necessary mean it's just as bright, but I'm pretty sure I'm pulling 600w by how hot my extenstion cords are and my room temps.

If your extension cords are even warm it time to UPGRADE THEM to 30 amp rated ones. Warm cords mean BAD BAD things!! Fire will destroy everything and possibly send you to jail.
