Usage drops at night, not the price. And how much it cost you depends on what you pay a kilowatt hour x the hours the light is on. You can find how much each type lamp uses doing a search. i.e. my T5 uses approx. $20.00 a month 24x7. A thousand watt example - 6 hrs x 1100 watts (a 1000 watt uses that) divide by 1000 x $ 0.04 per kwh x 30 days = $7.92. :thumbsup:
gypski Reviewed by gypski on . Energy question.. Hey ya'll.. someone told me electricity prices plumett at night, and in the early hours of the morning because I imagine.. everyones asleep.. Anyway, would this be worthwhile? you could tend your plants in the when the lights go on in the evening, and the next morning before they go out for the tonight.. might have to get up earlier occasionally.. If it were a sealed room cabinet dirt grow with an air filter, possibly co2.. a 250w hid, and an exhaust fan hooked up to a thermostat.. It would do Rating: 5
