How do I calculate what my heat lamp is costing me a month.
My electricity is charged 2172 kWh @ 11.329 cents/kWh

Depends on the Watts of your bulb. Example 100w for and hour is 1/10 of a kilowatt/hr. So 11.329x0.1=1.1329 cents per hour . Roughly 1 cent an hour for a 100w bulb

I’m not sure the fixture it’s self says 660w but inside is says to avoid risk of fire do not exceed 75w. And I just got the snake and entire set up second hand so I don’t know what the bulb is

Re: Heat lamp
The bulb should have it written on it. Turn it off let it cool and see if you can find something

Not sure how else to tell the wattage of a bulb.

I’m going to assume it’s 75w the one I got it from probably would of went with that
