my new electric bill? HELP?

General Kush · Feb 20, 2009

i looked at my last electric bill and it says 7.95$ per kwh if i remember right, i am using 4 cfl 26 watts(2 2700k and 2 6500k) for 12 hours every single day...anyone know how much my next bill will come out too?

hey your nowhere near using a kw/h if thats anything?... your running like 100watts say every 10 or so hours you use a kw no big deal...

im pretty stoned and rambling so someone else here may be able to help better

cheers kwaka

k= 1,000 .......................

Good day,

You are not paying $7.95 per KW - probably .0795
104 watts for 12 hours is 1.248 KW - so it will cost you about $3.00 per month

gotot · Feb 20, 2009

damn that's a shit load of wattage he has there! I've never seen anything in my life that expensive!

kwaka80 · Feb 20, 2009

my closet is running up near 600 - 700watts per hour

smppro · Feb 20, 2009

Dont worry man, thats like using an average light bulb(100w incandescent). I was all worried back in the day when i got my 400w hps, then i realized i had 4 100w incandescent in my vanity fixture, lol

angelsbandit · Feb 20, 2009

General Kush,

The lights will add about $5.50 per month to your bill.

400w @ .14 per kw/hr 12hrs day x 30 days =23.18
18hs/30 = 34.78

600= 34.27 on 12/30 and 51.41 for 18 hrs @ .14 kw/hr

1000= 55.44 on 12/30 and 83.16 for 18 hrs.@ .14 kw/h

i've got a chart for this thru sunlight supply , inc.......they may have a web page for this as well
so all costs were using sun system 1,2,6,10 harvest pro and elit.
i'm picking up the harvest pro 600 switchable. $152.00

just rambling
