Try this chart for your true electric costs.......
The first chart will be for wattage at one cent per kilowatt hour & so if you're
paying 8.5 cents p/kwh you would multiply any figure in the chart by 8.5.
In the second chart the cost has been figured at six cents p/kwh which is the
national average.


Call your local power company and see what they’re charging you per kilowatt hour. Your monthly power bill might say what they’re charging you a month.


Example if your paying 01.Cent Per kilowatt hour:

A 1000 Watt bulb on 24 hours a day for 1 month will cost $07.20

18/6 Light schedule will cost $05.40

12/12 Light schedule will cost $03.60

A 600 Watt bulb on 24 hours will cost $04.32 a month

18/6 Light schedule will cost $03.24

12/12 Light schedule will cost $02.16

A 430 Watt bulb on 24 hours will cost $03.10 a month.

18/6 Light schedule will cost $02.32

12/12 Light schedule will cost $01.55

A 400 Watt bulb on 24 hours will cost $02.88 a month

18/6 Light schedule will cost $02.16

12/12 Light schedule will cost $01.44

A 600 Watt bulb on 24 hours will cost $25.92 a month

18/6 Light schedule will cost $19.44

12/12 Light schedule will cost $12.96

A 430 Watt bulb on 24 hours will cost $18.58 a month.

18/6 Light schedule will cost $13.92

12/12 Light schedule will cost $9.29

A 400 Watt bulb on 24 hours will cost $17.28 a month

18/6 Light schedule will cost $12.96

12/12 Light schedule will cost $8.64

The formula for converting watts to amps......
WATTS divided by VOLTS = AMPS

Two 400 watt HPS lamps = 800 watts.
Standard home current in the USA = 120 volts
So 800watts divided by 120volts = 6.66amps

Play it SAFE! Do Not overload your breakers!
Most home circuit breakers are 15 or 20 amps

Don't come close to loads either....why risk plunging your plants into darkness by overloading circuits? Untimely darkness might cause morphing turning females into males.
