How many watts of electricity does this light use? Is my electric bill going to go way up?

There are 2 36 watt fluorescent bulbs. You leave it on 1hour. I don't think that will break the bank :)

Reading the label on the unit, it says it uses 72 watts of electricity. In my area, where electricity is about 14 cents per kilowatt hour, that seems to be a little less than 1 cent per hour. It's a small price to pay for what the light appears to do.

I do not know the wattage and I am not using it often enough to notice an increase in my electric bill.

The lights use 36 Watts. Well worth the positive effects in my experience. I only use it 1-2 hrs in the morning in winter.

LED takes 5 Watts for 40, 7 for 60, and 9 Watts for 75. They will save you money on your electric bill

At full speed, the motor uses 50 watts. The UV light uses 5 watts. This translates to about $5 a month on our electricity bill if it's running continuously.

I replaced a flourescent light with the new fixture. I don't know what the wattage of the original flourescent light. I suggest asking an electrician.

The night light is only a 1 watt led. Now I never hooked up a meter to it, but that little led is definitely not drawing 12 watts, unless they mean a night. 1 watt means 1 watt per hour.

I am sorry to say I have no idea. This item is connected into the wall, and just like all of my electric lights, television, etc it does not come with a separate bill. Quite frankly, however, I cannot see it using very much since you cannot leave it on for an extended period of time.

It depends on how many amp hours they are rated for. If you connect it to 12 volts it will draw 3 constant amps. Or 4 batteries it will draw 1.5 amps at 24 volts. Also keep in mind that depending on your configuration 12 or 24 volts its going to be 36 watts per light

Yes, you will need reconfigure the light and it will require 20 watts dc power. Or you can just get a power inverter.

I haven't tried increasing the watts... I would like to know the same. I have been using one of those clip lamps and using it in addition to the two lights to bring in light through the top

I am not sure of the question. As far as my electric bill it went up very little and it is on 24/7.

You can use up to 100 watt but I use 75. These are beautiful lights and they look great outdoors. I have been so happy with them at the front door and around the garage door. I thought the price was great but they look very expensive. Very glad I found them.

It is using 54W Light Bulb. You can estimate usage similar to as you run your laptop full time (50W). In numbers it will be about 1.2 kWt/day, 36 kWt/month.

Good question, I haven't metered it to see how much it actually consumes to illuminate and manage the timer settings and such... I did refer back to the specs in the instructions pamphlet and it did not specific that.... the maximum load the switch can handle is 1800W but I know that's not what you're asking.

not sureThe light works I keep on 24 hours a day since the amount of electricity is uses is so low that not worth switching offfor things under$20, I do not worry about the warranty

Honestly I am not aware of the daily electrical costs, but I do not remember seeing any significant increase on our bill. I hope this helps.

This is a great light. Have been using it as an outdoor floodlight for about six months. Plenty of light, equivalent to about 75 watts for the cost of 15. I see bugs swarming all over it at night, to answer ArgyJr's question.
