Re: How much power usage?

Aha! I didn't know the second one existed. I will buy one since they are cheaper than i had thought, your offer is very kind :) I just want to prove i'm not sucking electric out of the place i'm in! Especially not £200 per month! How would anyone make a turnover after everything else, thanks so much...

Re: How much power usage?

Thanks for the offer, but after you mentioned it,
My mum had two turn up from British gas, but I don't think it can narrow down one machine

Re: How much power usage?

Thanks guys, this really helps!
I'm being told the electricity bill has risen £150-200 pcm and needless to say, my laser is getting the blame!
Thought i might as well be cheeky and ask for others input.
Any more info will be a lifesaver :)

I'm the owner of a LS6840 with a 60w tube, it's only run when i need it as there's ...
