Not quite, the one amp is as measured at the led itself. In other words, at 85% efficiency for the controller, you'd see: 1 amp ÷ .85 = 1.176 amp prior to a one amp controller. Doesn't factor into led output, but rather to amp load at the power supply.
So assuming no trouble with the power supply end of things, .85 * 240 = 204 lumens output, slightly under 60 lumens per watt at full throttle.
