I've been looking into it. According to my math and what the electric company is charging me my 2 x 400x hps lights are costing me $62 a month so I think the big difference is the fact I've had my central air blasting 24/7 for the last month to keep the room cool and the rest of the place frigid. They don't let us put window ac units in here or I would run a small one just for the room. I'll have to try and look at it to see what it is rated at for consumption. It should get better with cooler temps coming and I can just vent cool air in through the window. Maybe I'll look into some led's for next summer. I'd like to see someone do a grow journel with strictly leds and see how the yields and potency come out. Thanks for the advice.
