2 600W vs 1 1000W - Power Consumption

Can anyone tell me what kind of power consumption increase I am looking at going with 2 600W vs 1 1000W? I am running a 2 1000W right now and I am thinking of expanding thngs and moving to 4 600W instead... How much will my power bill go up do you think?

i dont think ur bill would go up that much...i do think u wouldcrop more....u would have better light coverage

I can answer the question if you tell me how much you pay for a kilo watt of electricity. You can find this information on a electric bill or from your electric company.

If I had to guess I would say an extra 400 watts will cost you no more than $25/month

Ok think I got it... 0.065

They all would be running 12-12...

Your bill will go up approx. $9.36 at 6.5 cents per kilowatt hour in a 30 day period using an 400 extra watts of light. Peace.
