Computation of Electricity Consumption
• LED
• 0.7 x 8 = 5.6 W
• 1.5 x 5 = 7.5 W
• Christmas Lights : 3.3 W
• Watts per day:
• 5.6+7.5+3.3=16.4 W
• 16.4 x 3 hours= 49.2 watt-hours per day
• Convert to Kilowatts
• 49.2 watt-hours per day/1000
• = 0.0492 kWh per day

• Usage over a Month Period

• 49.2 watt-hours per day x 30 days = 1,476 W
• 1,476/1000 = 1.48 kWh per month
