Fluorescent lamps typically require a certain range of voltage for their operation. The specific voltage requirement can vary depending on factors such as the type of fluorescent lamp, its design, and the specific ballast used (if applicable).
Standard fluorescent lamps, which are commonly found in homes and offices, usually operate within a voltage range of around 100 to 120 volts for North America or 220 to 240 volts for many other parts of the world.
It's important to note that fluorescent lamps require additional components to operate properly, such as a ballast. The ballast is responsible for regulating the electrical current that flows through the lamp. Different types of fluorescent lamps, such as T8, T5, or compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), may have slightly different voltage and ballast requirements.
If you're working with fluorescent lamps, it's recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications or guidelines to ensure proper operation and safety. Additionally, if you're not familiar with electrical systems, it's advisable to seek assistance from a qualified electrician to ensure correct installation and operation.
