also when you look at the prices its in pennys.


like california 12.00 thats 12 cents


so what you do is

1000w eguals i kilowatt per hour

so 12 cents times how many hours your light is on times how many days in a month.

and that will give you a total on the light cost

Any good tips of saving on your electric bill with your lights im using 400mh for veg 18/6 and 400hps for flower and its only a small grow 4-6 plants at a time do i need that many watt,s

when i just move in my new place just over a year ago the electric was getting payed by someone 2 blocks away lol
i let it run for a while then i phoned 2 get it fixed incase it exploded it was a dodgy d.i.y. wire up job

also...
raise the temp of your fridge a bit
lower the temp of your water heater a bit
turn off your computer at night
turn off your monitor when not in use
adjust your thermostat a couple of degrees (up in summer, down in winter)

These simple things can make a significant difference in your powerbill
