    I REALLY depends on what your electric utility charges you per kilowatt-hour.
    Where I live they charge 9.7 cents/Kwh.
    3 bulbs x 42 watts= 126 watts or 0.126kilowatts
    So over one hour you will consume 0.126kwh
    0.126kwh x 9.7cents= 1.22 cents per hour
    1.22 cents x 12 hours=14.64cents
    You get the idea.....
