it depends, my 400 watt run at 12/12 upped the bill by about 20 a month, so your's shouldn't be more than13 or so a month. You will be fine.

hey man, i am growing with a 250watt cfl and i have not noticed any difference. although i dont pay the bill, the missus does but she ain't said nothin. and she'd be the first to complain but all ok. i was told it cost's around 6p a day and i believe it. so don't frett man. if ya mum say's somit to ya i'm sure you can come up with a good one. good luck

worth giving it a go. seems such a shame to kill it. you can keep her alive for months with the smallest amount of light. good luck mate

this is somewhat easy math to find your answer

250w @ 12hr/day X 30 days

=.25kw X 12 X 30

therefore you will use 54kw/month

54kw x price/kw = monthly cost.

you'll have to know your price/kw, but where I live it's around 6.7 cents per kw, so my price would be

54kw x 6.7cents/kw = 361.8 cents or $6.03/month
