Assuming you pay 10 cents per kw/hour from your power company then it would cost 7 tenths of a cent.
First convert watts to killowats (by dividing by 1000), so 70/1000=0.07kw
Now multiply how many kw (kilowatts) the device uses by the local rate (you need to call your power company or look at a recent bill), we will assume 10 cents for now.
So 0.07kw times 0.10 (kw/hour rate) comes to 0.007 to run this for one hour.
To carry it further, to run this light for a whole day (24 hours):
0.007 times 24 = 0.168 (16.8 cents per day).
If you leave the light on for 8 hours a day for a month:
0.007 times 8 (hours per day) times 30 (days in a month) = 1.68

∙ 14y agoTo calculate the cost of running a 70 watt light bulb for 1 hour, you would need to know the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour in your area. On average, in the United States, it would cost around 0.07 cents to run a 70 watt light bulb for 1 hour.
To calculate the cost per hour to use a 150 watt light bulb, you would first need to know your electricity rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Once you have that, you can convert the wattage of the light bulb to kilowatts (0.150 kW) and multiply it by the electricity rate to determine the cost per hour. Keep in mind that rates vary depending on your location and energy provider.
The cost of electricity for a light bulb being on for a long time depends on the wattage of the bulb, the electricity rate per kilowatt-hour, and the duration it is on. To calculate the cost, you can use the formula: (Wattage of bulb / 1000) * hours on * cost per kilowatt-hour.

Unfortunately this answer is dependant completely on the "kilowatt per hour" your company charges you. If I receive this information from you then i will be more than happy to answer your question. -Tychusfindlay919
You are charged by Kilowatt Hours. An average cost is about 12 cents. To make the math easy, assume a standard 100 watt incandescent bulb. If you had ten of them turned on for an hour it would cost 12 cents.
Assuming an electricity rate of $0.12 per kilowatt-hour, running a 70-watt light bulb for 1 hour would cost $0.0084 or 0.84 cents. This calculation is done by converting watts to kilowatts (70W = 0.07 kW) and then multiplying by the cost per kilowatt-hour.
To calculate the cost per hour to use a 150 watt light bulb, you would first need to know your electricity rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Once you have that, you can convert the wattage of the light bulb to kilowatts (0.150 kW) and multiply it by the electricity rate to determine the cost per hour.

That would depend on the how many watts the light bulb you are talking about. Also, it would depend on how much your power company charges for electricity.
You have to have three factors to calculate this cost. First what you are charged per Kw/hr from your power supplier, second the wattage size of the bulb that you want to do the calculation on and third the voltage of the bulb. Give me these and I can tell you how it costs to run the bulb per hour.
i dont know ether if you get the answer can u send it to me plz

Typical home energy cost is 10 cents per kilowatt hour A 60 watt bulb running for one hour uses 60 watt hours .10 X (60/1000) = .006 cents per hour 16.66 60watt bulbs on for one hour would cost 10 cents.
Thomas Edison's light bulb was patented in 1879. The cost of the original light bulb produced by Edison was around $1, which was quite expensive at that time.

the price of the bulb
about 2-3 dolers
