Treavor,

What you are refering to is the "Volt-Ampere" rating of the device.  (I
say this because you used the term 110 volts, and that is the common AC
voltage in the US.  110 volts DC has not been commonly available for
over 75 years!)  If an AC device consumes energy, and all you have is
the voltage and current values, then you will have the Volt-Ampere value
(usually referred to as VA).  To get the wattage, you need the VA value
and multiply it by the power factor (a function of the phase difference
between the voltage and current).  If voltage and current are in phase,
the power factor is 1.  If there is a phase difference, then it will be
less than unity.
