What's the power consumption (How many watts?) (or, alternatively, how many Volts & Amps?)
1108840
I e-mailed the company and their prompt response follows: "The amount of power used by the SOUND+SLEEP nomad depends on the SoundStory selected and the volume it is played at. At the default volume, it should consume approximately a third of a watt. At full volume and the most power hungry SoundStory, it should consume about three-fourths of a watt.If you have any further questions, call us weekdays between 9 AM and 5 PM PST at 408-377-3411."

*15 amps/1800 watts maximum draw, do the math dormer. Add up all your lighting or whatever!

Sorry I don't know.I have used it a couple times but do not know how much power it used.

How could it be 2 amps at 12v - that would be 24 watts of power consumption. Say we have 1.7fv at 60ma on each of the 48 LEDs. With resistors (as opposed to a CC power supply) this would consume about 420 mA. How do you get to 2amps?

I have looked all over the box, but cannot find the wattage - I actually looked online also, and still could not find it - sorry.

Ideally would be 24 watts, without considering conversion losses etc. Being a switching supply, it should be close to the that (basic formula is P=I*E, P is power, I is current, E is volts).

I think the question was... will this unit use 44 watts of power no matter the load? ie... will this unit still consume 44 wats if you only have a 5 watt load...My best guess is it will only use what it delivers to the load plus some wasted power in the 120 to 12 volt conversion process as there are no 100% efficient methods of conversion.

Well, since you asked:I would assume a rate of $0.10/kwh So just multiply that times the estimated usage vs an incandescent bulb of equivalent wattage.Have fun with this one!

The unit itself has no power-consumption rating that I can see. If I had to guess, I'd say it consumes probably as much power as a night-light, or less. The unit itself is basically a volt/amp meter coupled with a display - none of these are power-hungry components.

Sorry for the late reply:I think the wattage is calculated using an algorithm (speed, incline, etc.). I have never used a power meter before so I am afraid I cannot comment on how accurate it is.

18 watts per iirc... But i have mine line out to an amp so cannot comment on the acceptability of that wattage.

what is the power consumption on this unit ? I need answers from actual users please.. Thanks

Expect a power usage between 2W and 2.5W per device. Power usage will be on the high end of that range if you overclock your devices.

that's what I am doing - here's what i am finding...the control item (using a kill-a-watt) is still drawing .005 amps when everything else is off...i know this is practically negligible and in the scheme of things it's not really gonna matter money wise, just led me to the question that if the most least power consumption device (i.e. -0-) was the control item there would be absolutely no draw whatsoever. Thank you for your replies and if I am completely off base, please let me know

As I didn't receive any paperwork either with my purchase I can guess..Watt usage is compiled by the following method; Watts equal Amps times volts W=Amps x volts, estimate W= (5) x (120) 605 watts

That's what I've got it plugged into. Works great (for the power consumption - I only have a 300W supply)!

I don't know the wattage, but it plugs into a 110 outlet. It doesn't strike me it uses much energy.
