Yes, but doubling the voltage on any piece of equipment is a sure way of destroying that equipment.
A fluorescent light bulb typically operates on a voltage range of 100-277 volts, depending on the specific model and design. The most common standard voltage for residential use in the United States is 120 volts.
A typical fluorescent light bulb operates on a voltage range of about 100 to 250 volts, depending on the specific type and design. The bulb requires a ballast to regulate the current and voltage for proper operation. However, when considering the voltage across the electrodes inside the bulb during operation, it can be around 1,000 volts due to the ionization of the gas inside.
Fluorescent light bulbs can not be connected to a constant voltage power supply, or they will self destruct. They must use a ballast in order for this not happening. This way they can operate under 430 mA, with a drop of 100 volts. The larger the bulb, the more voltage needed (going all the way up to 1.5 A).
In the US a general purpose receptacle outlet would be 120 volts; England 240 volts, France 115 volts, Libya 127 volts, Okinawa 100 volts, Tanzania 230 volts . . .; all depends on where your house is.
You are unharmed in a science demonstration in which you conduct or carry 100,000 volts of electricity and light up fluorescent tubes because there is normally insufficient current to hurt you. Note that the original question said "volts of current". This is a misunderstanding. Voltage is electric potential, while current is electric flow. The two terms are not the same thing.
You would have to run new wires to obtain 240 volts or use a step-up transformer.
The recommended voltage for a dryer outlet is 240 volts.
A duplex outlet is 115vac.
Yes you can safely do this. Most appliances that are marked 115 volts will operate on outlet between 110 and 120 volts safely.
The standard voltage requirement for a dryer outlet is 240 volts.
There are no volts in a light. A light consumes power.
My outlets have 132 volts in the kitchen! And 130 at the shop witch is 300 ft away ! Is this to much ! And transformernot cutting enough
