Then its probably not £25/week or £100/month just to run a 600 watt light. That would be some outrageously expensive electricity. The extra produce gained by using a grow light should cover the real cost of the additional electricity several times over.

When my plants were seedlings I stuck them in a little cupboard with led lights and I didn't notice change in my electricity price, but ide assume proper lights would cost more, as when I see homes raided on TV , they always have hot wired electricity, I know that's a different scale from my 3 but just saying, so electricity must be high for proper equipment, as most people here can afford electricity normally

Doesn't matter what kind of equipment, a watt is a watt, it costs the same no matter the device using it. A 600 watt led by definition uses the same amount of power as a 600 watt hps. Im not suggesting the op convert their entire home into one big grow operation with dozens of lights so I don't think any hot wiring would be necessary. I have 8 grow lights going in my basement for veg and flower equaling just under 3000 watts, they cost less than $100/month to run and didn't require any sketchy electrical setup.
