Does multiplexing a usb power cable from 2 cables into 1 impact energy efficiency?

I have two led strips used for 2x27" monitor bias lighting. Each have their own USB cables for power. These two USB cables are plugged into a 2-port wall charger for a phone. I would like to use a 2x female to 1x male adapter to join the two USB cables into one, then plug it into a much smaller 1-port USB wall charger. The reason is due to my space constraints.

Will doing this impact its energy efficiency, ie using an adapter like this?

You’re confused. W/m means watts per meter, and the “5Ah” is probably actually 5 A, or the current you can push through the strip (limiting the length to below 2 m).
