umm...if you are asking how many you have to turn off so your power consumption wont change much then its 4... 4x 100=400
so what ur sayin is my 1500 watt spaceheater is costing me more than a 400 watt hps lite?

Akaman, watts are watts. Are you running the space heater 12 hours a day? watts x hours /1000 = kilowatt hours, usually how power is billed. So 1000 watts for an hour = 1 kilowatt hour.

the answer is 4, that is if they are on for the same period of time, and they are actually drawiwing 100w each.
