I am currently analyzing the savings made by changing over to LEDs from MH. The electricity saved by using LEDs is somewhat offset by an increase in heating costs.

Yah, my suspicion is that my heaters have been coming on a lot. The billing period was Dec. 20 to Jan. 23, when our house was the coldest. That's why I was wondering if the apex could tell me how often an outlet is switched on.

Calculating the wattage, assuming at 75% my LEDs are drawing around ~100-101 watts, I've got around 800 watts of led light over a 275 gallon tank at peak hours. No wonder I can't keep low light LPS. I might decommission a couple Radions.
