It's not 2000watts worth of LED whatever light you're looking at.

Figure out what it's pulling from the wall and go from there

Figure out what it's pulling from the wall and go from there

as in volts/amps or whatever?

It will probably say in small writing somewhere in the advert or on the back, "power draw".
If you can find out that then shoot for 50w per square foot.

Or link the light or tell us its full name.

it was gifted to me so ill see if they still have the manual or papers on it

Not sure but if it's 2000 watts i would assume maybe 400 from the wall so like 50 to 100 bucks a month ?

buy one of those. see how much it pulls constantly. Compare that to your electricity rate. You can usually find a breakdown on your bill somewhere.
It even has a kw/h mode that you can leave it and itll do that conversion for you.
between water and electricity, my grow doubled my utility bill.

Your charged for kilowatt hour not voltage. So watts are the only thing that matters when your trying to figure out costs. I have an 1800w cob led but it’s actual wattage is 300w. That’s what it draws from the wall
