If you run a 100 watt bulb for 10 hours you would 1 kilowatt hour (kWh). The cost of electricity varies by location usually. Mine even has a sliding scale based on the usage and goes from $.08 to $0.25 per kWh. Look at your electric bill to see if it shows a rate per kWh. If it does not, divide the dollar amount of your bill by the total kWh used to get a rate per kWh. That will be the cost to run a 100 watt bulb for 10 hours.
Rather than calculating KWh's, and getting out your power bill or calling the Public Service Commission - there's a 'rule of thumb' (2007 numbers) - a 100 Watt light bulb costs about 100 dollars per year if left on continuously....a typical 1200 watt heater will cost you 100/month if used heavy in the winter months.... (takes into account increased startup current, on/off time(duty cycle) and left set at reasonably warm temp day/night).
simple a dollar/watt/year!...
100W - $100/year, 200W - $200/year, 1200W=$1200/year
To calculate the cost per hour to use a 150 watt light bulb, you would first need to know your electricity rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Once you have that, you can convert the wattage of the light bulb to kilowatts (0.150 kW) and multiply it by the electricity rate to determine the cost per hour. Keep in mind that rates vary depending on your location and energy provider.
The cost of electricity for a light bulb being on for a long time depends on the wattage of the bulb, the electricity rate per kilowatt-hour, and the duration it is on. To calculate the cost, you can use the formula: (Wattage of bulb / 1000) * hours on * cost per kilowatt-hour.

Unfortunately this answer is dependant completely on the "kilowatt per hour" your company charges you. If I receive this information from you then i will be more than happy to answer your question. -Tychusfindlay919
You are charged by Kilowatt Hours. An average cost is about 12 cents. To make the math easy, assume a standard 100 watt incandescent bulb. If you had ten of them turned on for an hour it would cost 12 cents.
Assuming an electricity rate of $0.12 per kilowatt-hour, running a 70-watt light bulb for 1 hour would cost $0.0084 or 0.84 cents. This calculation is done by converting watts to kilowatts (70W = 0.07 kW) and then multiplying by the cost per kilowatt-hour.

That would depend on the how many watts the light bulb you are talking about. Also, it would depend on how much your power company charges for electricity.
You have to have three factors to calculate this cost. First what you are charged per Kw/hr from your power supplier, second the wattage size of the bulb that you want to do the calculation on and third the voltage of the bulb. Give me these and I can tell you how it costs to run the bulb per hour.
i dont know ether if you get the answer can u send it to me plz

Typical home energy cost is 10 cents per kilowatt hour A 60 watt bulb running for one hour uses 60 watt hours .10 X (60/1000) = .006 cents per hour 16.66 60watt bulbs on for one hour would cost 10 cents.

Thomas Edison's light bulb was patented in 1879. The cost of the original light bulb produced by Edison was around $1, which was quite expensive at that time.
the price of the bulb
about 2-3 dolers
