Did the numbers on LED lighting conversion at a local old building homeless shelter.
100w incandescent light bulb 4hr/day x 30 days @ 10¢/kWh = $1.20/month
14w LED bulb (100w equivalent) 4hr/day x 30 days @ 10¢/kWh = $.17/month (+ $1 bulb = $1.17 1st month)
Ordered up 50x 50w "Full Spectrum" grow LEDs (New York State legalizing recreational Marijuana, so.
Each individual will be allowed to grow their own 6 plants, 12 per household. For better quality-quantity harvest, controlled environment will be essential!)
Stocked up on the 110V COB (Circuit On Board) modules. These Aluminum bonded modules do require heatsinking. Ideal were the old, heavy 4' florescent shop lights, pop riveted 2 modules per, with conductive grease between. I will be supplying power with 22ga solid wire and am considering placing 1Amp fuse in line for every module (50w/110Vac= .45A).
Previous module experience include:
12V 30w LED modules attached to P3 heatsink-fans;
110V 3x 30w modules attached to 4' old-bare florescent fixtures (old style, thick metal with angled reflector)
110V 2x 50w modules attached to 4' old-bare florescent fixtures
Most ambitious (but now obsolete technology) project involved running 1x10w(11v 1A)+12V fan - 1x30w(36V 1A) - 1x30w(36V 1A) - 1x30w(36V 1A) - 1x10w(11v 1A)+12V fan in series from 110VAC through a bridge rectifier (modules 2" through screwed to 2"x2" aluminum square tube with fans supplying through ventilation
