Not sure about GLS lamps but in more specialist lamps,i.e. stage and
studio they come in 230 and 240V flavours, 230V lamps dont make
anywhere near ther rated span here, mebbe all the CFLs we get are
230V ;-)

They shouldn't, since domestic electricity supply across the EU is now
standardized at a nominal 230V.

Nominal 234v, +- 5%
which covers 220 to 250v

How does it do that then? - or is it a nominal 5% as well?
