What is the actual power draw on this? Thanks

The power draw for the G8LED G8-450 is 280 Watts, meaning that with only 280W of power consumption this G8 light has the same growing power of a 800W HID sytem with only 35% of the power consumption. The wasted energy in HIDs is mostly given off as excess heat.

Hi Martin, here the technical info: Power Consumption: Variable from 0.7- 2.5 Amps (12V DC) - Power Source: 12V/24V DC / 110V AC

Well I wasn't sure either, so I checked online and so far, all resources agree on 1500 WATTS of power. That said, I've had great service so far with mine, after regular use, the past four years.

Ideally would be 24 watts, without considering conversion losses etc. Being a switching supply, it should be close to the that (basic formula is P=I*E, P is power, I is current, E is volts).

Bill, I cannot answer this. How much power does it draw? How long does it need to power it before you would consider it viable? Sorry.

I am not sure what you are trying to determine. I don't have the test equipment to measure the small amount of power that this consumes. I did plug it into my Kill-A-Watt power monitor. The power consumed after 90 minutes still registered as zero. The instantaneous current and power were also zero. The device reads out to 2 decimal places so the power and current must me less than .00 amps and .00 watts. It is a very low power consuming device, exactly how low I am not sure. It is obviously not zero, just very low.

According to the documentation on their website the no load power draw is less then 0.6A here is the link. http://www.xantrex.com/documents/Power-Inverters/PROwatt-SW/DS20101206_Prowatt_SW_600_1000_2000.pdf

Hi, can you re write this question or be more specific?? Are you asking for power consumption?

So the actual power is only 200W, not 300W. Your guys just cheating us on this listing!!!

Buy a P3 P4400 Kill A Watt meter......they're about 19 bucks and will tell you exactly how much power its using

It doesn't draw power. It has an internal battery which is charged with a USB cable and supposedly lasts 6 hours between charges. Haven't had mine long and haven't used it enough to know if it really lasts a full 6 hours.

The 240watt designation is for the 80 units of 3watt diodes that go into the light. Actual power draw is always less and varies between 1.8-2.5 wattss per diode so the actual power draw for this light is around 150 watts. Besides power draw what is important is the technology that goes into the spectral ratio and this light is made with G8LED Optimal 8-band technology. Any light at 35watts is not comparable to this LED grow light.

Why would people vote this question down, silly people. Anyway, did you find out how much electricity this uses? I think you can plug this on a Kill-a-watt meter, I am planning to buy one soon to test these things.

Power capacity is much less for that connection. Mine is not handy just now, but I believe the rating is on the machine.

If I understand your question, you could look on the back or the bottom of the device where there is usually a label that lists how much power it uses. Also the transformer/power block that you plug in to charge the device will show how much power it draws. I hope this helps.

Wattage not mentioned in manual, sorry. However, I have used at least weekly since buying. It's awesome and as far as I can tell it does NOT lose any power while running it. It does have a seven minute power failure back up. Memory holds for that seven minutes.

Real life usage shows 250-270W power draw which is 2-2.25A. Better than 3.4A really but still not as good as 2.1A for CX2500 model. Measured with TED5000.
