The voltage present on the secondary side of the ballast (transformer) varies as to the type of fluorescent tube or bulb that is in the fixture. The voltage will always be higher that the applied line voltage that supplies the ballast.If the fluorescent bulb screws into a lamp type of fixture, then there is no way to measure the voltage at the bulb as the tube and ballast are a combined sealed unit.

How many volts does a fluorescent light bulb need?
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.
What does f17 stand for on fluorescent bulb packageing?
F17 on a fluorescent bulb packaging typically indicates the type of bulb and its wattage. In this case, "F17" refers to a T8 fluorescent bulb that operates at 17 watts.
What does the reading 100W-220V on an electric bulb indicate?
The reading "100W-220V" on an electric bulb indicates that it is a 100-watt bulb designed to be used with a voltage of 220 volts. This information helps ensure that the bulb is used with the correct power supply to operate efficiently and safely.
When a fluorescent bulb burns out should you be able to smell the gas?
As long as the tube is intact there is no difference between whether it is burnt out or not. You shouldn't smell anything from inside the tube. Fluorescent bulbs to have a ballast which may emit a smell if it is faulty. In this case you may have a bad ballast and not a bad bulb. If you put in a new bulb and it doesn't work, it is likely the ballast that is bad.
Which type of ligh bulb uses phosphors?
A fluorescent bulb

How can one accurately measure the brightness of a fluorescent bulb?
To accurately measure the brightness of a fluorescent bulb, you can use a light meter or a lux meter. These devices measure the amount of light emitted by the bulb in units called lux. Place the meter close to the bulb and take a reading to determine its brightness.
What is the voltage of fluorescent light bulbs?
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).

Which type of light bulb is more efficient light bulb incandesent or an fluorescent light bulb?
Fluorescent is more efficient. Incandescent bulbs should not be used any more, except for some special purposes (mainly where they keep something warm).
Who invented fluorescent light bulb?
EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
When should you replace a fluorescent light bulb?
when the tube ends blacken after failure of the tube heaters
Which type of ligh bulb uses phosphors?
A fluorescent bulb
How often should fluorescent bulb replacement be done to ensure optimal lighting in a workspace?
Fluorescent bulbs should be replaced every 1-2 years to maintain optimal lighting in a workspace.
How much is a fluorescent bulb?
fluorescent light bulbs are usually from 9$-15$.
