Get a Volt meter. First set it on the highest setting which would likely be either 500 or 1000 volts A/C using the highest voltage setting first is for saftey reasons to protect you and the meter. If the needle barely moves back it down a setting to a lower voltage.

There's several ways to check one is on your regular 110 outlet. If it reads below 125 volts you're likely OK. If it reads 128- 130 or higher I would call and complain.

The way you get the other voltage is by reading something like a dryer outlet, range, etc across the two hot conductors. That is two voltages each 125 volts but out of phase with each other. When each individual one is checked to ground you get 125. When checked across each other you get 250 volts.

Not to refudiate your post, I just don’t understand. All I know is flourescent light is very irritating to some of us, and now the government is telling us we MUST use them? What are we to do?
