how much wattage is used when this light is fully on?

There are 150 watts for each bulb therfore their's 300 watts which is not bad for outdoor lights if you want to see clear...

It's pretty bright. We're using it on the side of the house with the motion sensor on to light the area when we take out the trash. It's more than sufficient for that. It's also a fairly convincing "gotcha" for unwelcome visitors.

I think 100W is too much light, I'm using only a 60W bulb with the dome about 30 inches above the table...

"Wattage" is normally shown as "Max" wattage when in operation. If this product is listed as .8 watts (120vac x .067ma) then the "idle" current should be significantly less, probably about .020 amps/20ma or 120*.02= 2.4 watts. It could easily be less, depending on the circuit design. When the lights are not on, the unit is 1)determining if it is light or dark (dusk to dawn sensing) and 2)if there is "motion" in the vicinity. The energy used during this "idle" process is extremely low.

Sorry for my delay. I don't remember...I believe it was in the instructions. We used a 25 watt bulb.

It uses 1-Watt of electricity. Note that it is to be used with a 25-Watt 15-Volt power unit (transformer). We've been using ours for over 7 years and they still look fantastic! So much so that I ordered 5 more units to extend our lighting over to an adjacent work shop deck. Contrary to what the other answer said, I feel that they throw off enough warm amber light that you can walk around the deck with no problems. The flickering looks really neat - and there is even a wire "wick" in the middle of the candle that actually glows - just like a real candle! Enjoy!

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.

Very little. Not sure how much exactly in wattage, but it uses less than a night-light.

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.

I don't know - I only bought some - I think it burns about 18 watts but gives LOT of light - gotta cut down on the electricity bill.

If it helps: I actually have yet to install this light. The one I purchased is listed at 400k candle power.

As an Electrical Engineer I have the tools and skills to answer this. Power consumption when the light is fully charged and nightlight is on (lit) n auto mode is <0.5 watt. For all intents that is nothing. Standard incandescent nightlights come in 4 and 7 watt values to compare. This is led so uses almost nothing and inductive charging when the unit is charged uses virtually nothing as well. When the light is being charged from fully dead the power consumption is still less than 1 watt so nothing to worry about.

It only uses 60 watts and you can touch 2 to 3 times to go from dim to full light. Hope that helps and is a nice product for the price.

Very low wattage. Somewhere between 10 and 20 I would think. I dont know the exact specs. Think of this as a moonlight. Corals like it night. The white light part of it only does a little illumination. Not for regular coral growth for sure.

I bought this mainly for use by another family member. I know he uses a three way bulb but I do not know what the wattage is.

You turn the light on when you plug it in 8 hours before you want it to begin lighting. It will flash on and off twice so you know it is working. After 8 hours it will begin to light. It takes about 30 minutes to fully light. I'm not sure how long it stays light once it is at full power- about one hour. We only switch the lamp off Friday night so it won't go on for the weekend and switch it back on Sunday. We love this adapter!

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.

The label says 1W. I plugged one into a kill-a-watt meter and it shows .02 Amp. (20Ma). Problem is it show this regardless of the switch setting or whether the LED's are on or off.... This unis has not been plugged in so the battery may be charging. I will leave it plugged in and update this info after the battery has had time to fully charge.
