Cost to Run 12 volt Exterior Lighting

segaultney · 2008-01-27T15:30:36+00:00

I use three, 300 watt 12 volt Maulibu type transformers to light myyard and walkway lights around my home.I was under the impression the reason one would use 12volt instead ofline voltage was the 12v was less costly to run.How do I determine how much power each of these is drawing (per hr?)so I calculate my cost per month. I don't think it will matter, butone of them is only drawing about 160 watts. Each of the others isnear their 300 watt limit.Thx
