well im not sure if this helps or not, but i know friends that have grown with a 600 watt hps bulb, and they say electrical bill is only an extra 25 bucks a month, but im not sure if leds would even compare with hps. hope that helps in someway

600 watts is 600 watts whether its from a computer, hps light or led lights. Its all the same when it comes to energy usage.

I know there is calculators out there that do this for you but the math aint that hard...found it on some website

light wattage output / 1000) x electricity cost per kilowatt hour = Operating cost per hour
operating cost per hour x hours used per month = Operating cost per month
