The voltage of your area is what determines the operating voltage of all equipment. Equipment from other countries usually has to use a transformer to get the correct voltage. The voltage on a fluorescent fixture is printed on the ballast of the fixture. See if the voltage on the ballast matches the supply voltage of the system that you are going to use to operate the fixture.
