How much does a 1000 watt LED grow light cost to run?
How much does a 1000 watt LED grow light cost to run?
You need to divide your wattage by 1,000 (1,000 kilowats in 1 watt). So, if we were to run a 1000 watt grow light 18 hours a day with the kWh rate we gave earlier, our formula would be: 1 x $0.1559 x 18 x 30 = $84.186/month.
How many plants can a 1000W LED light grow?
As such, it could provide solid coverage for up to 4 plants. Yield Lab 1000W HPS+MH Cool Hood Reflector Grow Light Kit (Price: $239.95) — With a 1000w grow light, you'll get 130,000 lumens from an HPS bulb and 110,000 lumens from an MH bulb. That's sufficient to provide coverage for up to 6 plants.May 7, 2015
How much electricity does a 1200 watt LED grow light use?
Now consider a 1200w LED lamp with 4ft x 4ft grow coverage for an indoor grow room. It would cost roughly $525.66 to run this 1200w LED light for 12 hours a day using the same electricity rate. The consumption cost for this grow light is more than 85 times higher than a standard light.
That gives us a daily cost of running a 404 watt LED grow light of 4.848 kwh x $0.1283/kwh = $0.622 per day. To estimate the monthly cost, multiply it by 30. That means the cost to operate this LED grow light is $18.66 per month. Let's see how that compares to an equivalent HID light.Oct 9, 2020
