I wasn't questioning your math, just saying the estimate on the box is probably using different assumptions.

My LED porch light only uses 1 watt, so, since I was constantly forgetting to turn it on at night and off in the morning anyway, now I just leave it on 24/7

It makes me happy (and surprised) that these are being sold at costco now. When I got mine I had to order them online. The idea of efficiency is perhaps finally catching on!
