Devices That List Amps and Volts
AMPS x Volts = Watts (avg. is 120 volts)

How To Calculate Energy Loss?
FORMULA for LOSS
WATTS x Hours X Cost Per = TOTAL 1000 kilowatt hr. COST
Example: Usage 60 watt bulb x 16 hrs. X .0827 = $.079/day
1,000 = $2.37/mnth.
= $28.44/yr.

60 Watt Bulb Savings Per…
• Turning off 1-60 watt bulb for 16 hours a day:
Saves: = $ .079/day = $ 2.37/mnth.= $ 28.44/yr.
