PL-C lamps (Compact Fluorescent Lamps)

[Engineer85]

I have got PL-C lamps for 13, 18, 26 W. Does PL-C compact fluorescent lamps works well with both 110V and 220-230V ballasts?

Every ballast lamp combination has specific equipment that it will work with and that they are listed for. Any flourescent lamp will work at any voltage given the proper ballast. Many new electronic ballasts for PLC's are multi-voltage rated and tested.

Obtain the manufacturer's equipment tech sheets and verify that the ballast you have or the pre-ballasted lamp/ballast combination you have, are designed for whatever the system voltage is to which they will be connected.

Thank for the info.
But PL-C lamps has starter in it and starter can be of different voltage ratings 110V, 220V. Am i right?

If a PL-C lamp has 110V starter, will it work with 220V ballast?
