"Plum"

Lighting
I'm translating a description of a light fitting for office/corporate spaces and in the section for "Características eléctricas" there is the following information:
Equipo: Electrónico
Alimentación: 220-240V 50-60Hz
Plum: 21,3W
I cannot for the life of me figure out what "Plum" could be an abbreviation for. It doesn't seem to refer to any words I know for power/wattage. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

potencia luminosa
Could be a case of incorrect use or wide interpretation of the term. It should be potencia consumida. But see extract from the reference:
Se define el flujo luminoso como la potencia (W) emitida en forma de radiación luminosa a la que el ojo humano es sensible. Su símbolo es y su unidad es el lumen (lm). A la relación entre watts y lúmenes se le llama equivalente luminoso de la energía y equivale a:
1 watt-luz a 555 nm = 683 lm

power consumption
PLum stands for "potencia luminaria", which is the total energy consumend by the lighting device. In English it may be referred to in different ways: radiant power, luminaire active power. Notice that these are terms used in physics.
However, if it is a less technical document such a a brochure, I would choose a more familiar term, such a power consumption, or simply power.
