    no it wont a 300w led uses probably 170 real watts at the most which is not a lot at all

    That will be less than $10, my power bill fluctuates by hundreds depending on the time of year they wont think twice about 300w.

    18hrs x .18kw = 3.24kw/day x 30 = 97kw/month.
    Check with your power provider to see how much you pay a kilowatt.
    This is all approximate. I figure your 300w pulls about 140-180 so figured I'd go with the latter.
