Damn my elec is very seldom under 200$ up to 400$ Hope this new light drops her down. About 50-60$ in bs though only about 600wts
I was in the country and without an indoor grow (5 acres grew enough through the summer - lol) my electric bill was average of $400 but all I had was hydro, no gas, well, septic, lots of pumps, pool etc. House in town is <15 years old, gas for furnace/air/barbecue, makes a big difference in electric. But by the time I add in water and gas bills for this place it's about the same, except I have an indoor grow area instead of outdoor ;)

Had some time so wired up the Alibaba Chinese "COB" lights and got them hung. Dropped them to about 20" above after the pic. They seem to cover the area alright, we'll see. They're each 70w so 210w total or around 26w/sq./ft. One is 3000k, you can easily pick it out in the centre. $150 US shipped so not a big drop to check them out.

Looking good there G nice job on the DIY :)
Thanks Evil but all the DIY I did on those was connect a power chord, they ship them with bare wires. My box of old computer power chords came in handy. Only other thing I'll do is remove the cheap plastic lenses. Good news on the heat, dropped it down to 77-78F after I turned the exhaust fan back on, stoner move - lol

Environment is almost perfect for veg. I can drop that down a degree or two by turning on the active intake fan if needed.
