A 1000W metal halide lamp ballast uses about 8% of the lamp's wattage, meaning that a 1000W lamp actually consumes 1080 watts, or 1.08 kilowatts.
STEP ONE - TAKE HOURS USED AND MULTIPLY BY 1.08 kW
STEP TWO - TAKE THAT AND MULTIPLY IT BY COST OF ELECTRICITY, WHICH FOR RESIDENTIAL IN 2008 IS AROUND 11 CENTS/kWH (10 CENTS COMMERCIAL RATES)

∙ 12y agoWatts is the figure used to show how much power a device consumes.
Watts = volts * amps OR watts / volts = amps, so:
At 120 volts, 1000 watts / 120 volts = 8.33 amps, or:
At 220 volts, 1000 watts / 220 volts = 4.55 amps

∙ 13y agoDepends of what you mean by electricity. The 350 Watts says for each hour you have the light on you consume 350 Watt Hours of electricity. This is how you are charged by the Electric Company. Depending on where you live you may pay about 12 cents per 1,000 Watt hours or 1 Kilowatt hour. So your bulb costs about 4 cents per hour in electricity. To compute the current you need to know the voltage. Watts = Current x Volts.

Which light is brighter Metal Halide or mercury Vapor?
Between Metal Halide and Mercury Vapor the higher output is emitted from the Metal Halide lamp.
What does a metal halide light do to a plant?
Metal-halide light is helpful for plant growth and is often used for indoor plant growing applications. Metal-halide lights produce blue-frequency light. They can provide the temperature , as well as the spectrum of light that encourages plant growth.
Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
Why does metal halide light flicker?
Metal Halide can flicker when warming up cause it is starting to get hot inside. Or Metal Halide can flicker when it is about to burn out. Sometimes they even cycle.
Is Led lumen better than metal halide lamps?
Metal Halide lamps produce many more ANSI lumens than an LED lamps. However, given this fact, many manufacturers are focusing their production on LED technology because they produce light that lasts 4 to 10 times longer, and they do not get hot like metal halide lamps.
Which light is brighter Metal Halide or mercury Vapor?
Between Metal Halide and Mercury Vapor the higher output is emitted from the Metal Halide lamp.

When photographic film is exposed to light what metal is formed?
silver halide
Can you use 14-3 wire to power metal halide light outside?
The question isn't what you're powering with a particular gauge of wire, but what's the current draw. If the metal halide light can run on a 15 Amp breaker (from the breaker panel), fine use your metal halide in your residential application and run it on the 14 gauge wire.
What is a metal halide compound?
Common table salt NaCl is a metal halide.
What metal in the form of a halide salt is responsible for the sensitivity of photographic film to light?
silver.
What metal in the form of halide salt is responsible for the sensitivity of photograhic film to light?
silver
What is the difference between an HQI metal halide lamp and a regular metal halide lamp?
An HQI metal halide lamp belongs to the family of metal halide HID lamps. Hydrargyum quartz iodide (HQI) lamps differ from standard metal halide lamps in that they are often smaller and are offered in double ended versions and require a special socket. The gasses and metal halide salts used in HQI and standard metal halide lamps are the same.
Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
Will a metal halide light run a high pressure sodium lamp?
yes No Rafe, it will not. Remember when you tried it.
What metal in the form of a halide salt is responsible for the sensitivity of the photographic film to light?
Silver chloride, AgCl
Why does metal halide light flicker?
Metal Halide can flicker when warming up cause it is starting to get hot inside. Or Metal Halide can flicker when it is about to burn out. Sometimes they even cycle.
