electrcity uses and how high 4 light

how much electrcity does a 250w hps lght use in a week or mounth and how close to the plant can aye have the 250w hps light eny ansers plz

well.. in theory it should use 250W when on.. if you want to know how much money it will cost you'll have to check the price of 1 kWh with your energy supplier and then do some math.

about the distance between the light and the plants.. there's no exact rule for that. my opinion is: you should place your hand on top of your taller plant and if you feel it's too hot, so does your plant.

dude a 250w isnt much at all, its like running a small desktop computer for eighteen hours a day

which most of us do already

Try 14-18inches but if your just using 250 then 14-inches or even 12 would be good. I have A 600 and its at 18inches. and also do what phreaker said with the hand under the light thing too. I also have a 18inch string from the reflector with a penny taped on the bottom so its straight and when the plants reach the penny then its time to move the light up.

hope that helps.
