Watts are way, way too big as there is no floating/fixed point in sysfs. 10^-6 W is probably what is called for, since we already need 10^-3 V and 10^-3 A. Small portable devices can easily draw less than 10^-3 W nowadays. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
