A question I'm often asked is how much does it cost to light the
holiday display - the electrical meter does spin a bit faster. That's
easy to calculate - with all 17,100 lights ON, the current draw is 65
amps. Multiply by 120 Volts and divide by 1,000 to get 7.8 KiloWatts.
The approximate cost of electricity in Colorado is 10 cents per
KiloWatt-Hour ... so to run the display continuously for an hour, it
costs 78 cents/hour - not much! But remember that Internet Surfers are turning the lights on & off
... so divde that by two and then multiply by the 5 hours/day it's
active, and the electricty costs 195 cents per day. Multiply that by 31
days and for $60, a whole month of holiday fun is provided to people
around the world ... plus some awareness and thousands of dollars in
donations for Celiac Disease Research!
