The VARIABLE costs are those that go up - because you turn on the bed. Generally speaking - the cost of the electricity to fire up the unit and the amount of "wear" you use on the lamps.


To run a base bed - somewhere between $.25 and .50, depending on how many lamps, what you pay for lamps, how often you change them, and your cost of electricity.
