with that info .. you will be using 4.1kw with just lights .. add another 1kw for everything else ( estimate) find how much you pay for hydro $/kwh ... multiply your lighting times .. there you go ..
 
elementary my dear:

watts times hours divided by 1000 times cost per kilowatt hour = total cost

if you don't know the wattage, then :

amps times volts times hours divided by 1000 times cost per kilowatt hour = total cost

$.23 per kw plus fuel surcharge. It is on every electric bill I get.

I thought this was way high until tellno1 posted, Canada is worse than Alaska, at least where he lives, most places I hear about have lower prices than here.

Like I care about electric costs with the price of herb being what it is.

i pay different rates as per time of day ... from 38cts to 49cts ... sucks ... but with the right light timing i take full advantage of time of day ...
