Can I plug a 220 volts fluorescent light into a 110 volts outlet by just changing the plug?

Yes, but doubling the voltage on any piece of equipment is a sure way of destroying that equipment.

How many volts does a fluorescent light bulb need?
The correct voltage should be printed on the light bulb.
Why are you unharmed in a science demonstration in which you conduct or carry a 100 000 volts of current and light up fluorescent tubes?
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.
Why is it that the outlet shows 209 volts instead of 120 volts?
Because it is a 220 volt outlet instead of a 120 volt outlet. Now, if this is a standard 120 volt outlet that is reading 209 volts then someone has made a mistake in the wiring. You need to call an electrician to straighten this out.
What is power available from 110 VAC outlet?
Any where from 110 volts to 130 volts alternating current is available from a 110 VAC outlet.
How many volts in a standard household outlet?
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.
How many volts are in a duplex?
A duplex outlet is 115vac.
Can you plug a 115V appliance into a 110V outlet?
Yes you can safely do this. Most appliances that are marked 115 volts will operate on outlet between 110 and 120 volts safely.
A power supply receives 120 volts of power from a wall outlet and converts it to?
A power supply receives 120 volts of AC power from a wall outlet and converts it to 3.3, 5, and 12 volts of DC power.
How many volts are in a light?
There are no volts in a light. A light consumes power.
Can you plug a 115 volt 15 amp airconditioning unit to a 100 volt outlet?
I have never seen a 100 Volt rated outlet. Usually outlets would be rated for 110 to 120 volts for residential use, or maybe 150 volts. The rating is separate from what voltage the outlet is providing. If your outlet is supplying 100 volts, as measured by an accurate voltmeter, you have some problem in your wiring or a faulty outlet. If there is only 100 volts at the outlet get an electrician to diagnose the problem if you are not completely familiar with home wiring. In general you should never use an outlet that has a voltage or current rating less that the device will consume.
Amps used by 32 watt fluorescent light bulbs?
If it is a 120volt light, then it is watts / volts. 32 watts / 120 = .2667 amps. <<>> fluorescent lights usually have a power factor around 0.6 so a 32 watt bulb would take around 32/(120 x 0.6) amps or 0.44 amps.
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).
