How much does it cost to run an LED light bulb for 24 hours?

What kind of light bulb can bring light without increasing the household electricity cost? So how should the cost be calculated?

Let's break it down step-by-step to calculate the cost of running an LED light bulb for 24 hours:

Steps to Calculate the Cost

1. Determine the Wattage of the LED Bulb

   • For example, let's say you have a 10-watt LED bulb.

2. Convert the Wattage to Kilowatts

   • Since electricity is billed in kilowatt-hours (kWh), you need to convert the wattage to kilowatts by dividing by 1,000.

   • 10 watts / 1,000 = 0.01 kilowatts

3. Calculate the Daily Energy Consumption

   • Multiply the kilowatts by the number of hours the bulb is on.

   • 0.01 kilowatts * 24 hours = 0.24 kilowatt-hours (kWh)

4. Find Your Electricity Rate

   • Check your electricity bill or contact your utility provider to find out the rate you are charged per kWh. For this example, let's assume the rate is $0.12 per kWh.

5. Calculate the Cost

   • Multiply the total kilowatt-hours by the electricity rate.

   • 0.24 kWh * $0.12 = $0.0288

So, the cost to run a 10-watt LED light bulb for 24 hours is approximately $0.0288 (or about 2.88 cents).

Example Calculation for Different Wattages

By following these steps, you can easily calculate the cost of running any LED light bulb for 24 hours based on its wattage and your electricity rate.
