LEDs do NOT take up a lot of electricity, 2-3 volts usually. Also, the power adapter is only 12V @ 1 Amp.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To calculate how much energy an AeroGarden uses, we use the following formula: -- The number of hours each day that your AeroGarden is on (based on the type of garden planted and AeroGarden type itself), multiplied by -- The wattage figure given above for your model AeroGarden (divided by 1000 to convert it to kilowatts, as used by the electric company), multiplied by -- 31 days a month, multiplied by -- The cost per kilowatt hour charged by your utility (in this case $.11 kw/hour) For example, in a cubicle in one of our office at AeroGrow we are growing Gourmet Herbs (on 17 hours a day) in an AeroGarden Bounty (which uses 48 watts, or 0.048 kilowatts, of power). This AeroGarden is on for 31 days a month, at an average utility rate of approximately $0.11 per kilowatt hour of electricity.
