Currently running 10 hours along with 2 hours of moonlighting. If you use LED you never have to change light bulbs because the spectrum never changes, you just use them until they die which is like 50,000 hours and that works our to be 10 years+ if you use T5 or MH then you gotta change the bulbs every 6-8 months and the cost can add up over time.
