It's 13 cents a kilowatt hour in my area,you would divide that by 4 in your case,depending on your price,multiply by the number of hours per month. Someone correct me if that's incorrect,I just had a cple rips.Curious of how much for 2-125w leds are costing some of you that have them. I calculated about $7 a month for 12 hours a day. This seems very inexpensive. Hoping my calculations are correct. I don't have the patience to wait until next mont's bill) thx
My 2 x 4 cost about 80 cents/day for electric. With nutes and soil around $30/month.Curious of how much for 2-125w leds are costing some of you that have them.

How many watt of lighting are you using? What other equipment are you using that are potentially energy hogs?Electric bill was about 80 bucks when I moved in to where I'm at. I now pay 220.

This question is for reference as the OP is only planning on 250w of LED lighting.
I use a device called "Kill O Watt." It looks identical to yours. Many brands out there, mine was purchased at Harbor Freight. It's been a while so I don't remember what it costs me. However, it's a great tool to have in your grower's tool box.Using the rated wattage of a device might not provide an accurate picture of the energy used. A wattage meter is better. There are a lot of them on the market. Here's one on Amazon that I've been using: Poniie PN1500 Portable Micro Electricity Usage Monitor Electrical Power Consumption Watt Meter. It costs about $18.
My light panels are rated at 240 watts, but at full power they only draw 233 watts. I also haven't yet run them at full power, which would be 466 watts for the two panels. They're set to a combined 350 watts now. One panel is a bit brighter than the other. Using a power meter to set the power level is also much more accurate than the markings on the dimmer switch.

Kill O Watt meters are good, too. I had one but fried it by drawing too much power through it. Oops!I use a device called "Kill O Watt." It looks identical to yours.
