Lighting Bill ???
Does anyone know how much it would cost to run a MH combo 1080W system for about 8-10 hours a day each month? Just wanting to know before I buy some new lights and not be shocked when I get the new light bill. Thanks

Get an electronic timer and keep your lights off for one day a week. I do it for Tuesdays because I'm never home. Things grow as usual. This will take 1/7 off your power bill.

You can also run the lights at night to reduce your peak hour usage if your meter is set up to read it like that.
