Electricity Cost

[alan23]

Can anyone tell me how much it would cost to run a 600w lightbulb constantly per week im on a pre pay metre?

600W do you mean 60W?

[melv16]

600 watts! Do you live in a lighthouse? ;-)

[alan23]

No 600w

[EDDIE51]

That is around 10KwH so £1.00 to £1.20 depending on your tarrif

Ok if it really is 600w multiply by 10.
Are you starting a cannabis farm??

lol Eddie. That's the first thought that crossed my mind!

Your 60w (hope it’s 60w !!) bulb will consume a fraction over 10 Kilowatt hours of juice during the week. Too work this out multiply 168 (hours in a week) times 60 (the number of watts) divided by 1,000 (to get to Kilowatt hours). It’s actually 10.08 Kwh.

British Gas’s standard rate for pre-pay electricity is currently 13.32p per Kwh. At that rate the cost of running your 60w light would be £1.34. Ten times that, of course, if it really is a 600w bulb!
