IIRC some consolidation has been done already. Besides, please note that
light-locker has its own setting called "Lock on suspend" that works
independently of settings in the xfce4-power-manager and in xfce4-session. I
think having a setting is more important for the power manager; Optional
separate "Action Buttons" for suspend and lock&suspend would be nice in panel
anyway for maximum flexibility (though light-locker might lock no matter which
one you choose).

"xset dpms force off" does the trick in xflock4 with those lockers.
light-locker also turns off display when it locks. i3lock has --dpms option and
can turn power off also, if you press Esc on lock screen.
