Why does the LED strip power not match?

I bought a 2 m LED strip for 9.6 W = 19.2 watts. Divide by 12 V = 1.6 watts. I connect a powerful PSU (does not squander). Consumption current = 0.6A! And there is not much light in the eye. Maybe they mistakenly gave another tape? For LED tapes, after all, the same PHYSICS OF CALCULATIONS?

    19.2 W / 12 V = 1.6 A. If the PSU is powerful, then, accordingly, the tape should work at full power. If the current is 0.6 A, then the tape is of lower power, does not correspond to the indicated power. Yes, that means they gave you another tape. Or the manufacturer “cheated” and indicated incorrect characteristics, as a result of which the power of the LED strip does not match the declared one.
