Question: Some of my receptacles will run low voltage such as
lights, but not very bright. A hundred watt bulb will only look like
it is 50W. A vacuum cleaner will not even work.

I have replaced all receptacles in the bedroom but there may be more
switches and receptacles on this circuit.

Can anyone tell what the problem may be and is there an easy way to
test it?

Any chance you have aluminum wires?

Second guess (also may be part of my first guess) you may have a
floating ground. Do any lights brighten or burn out more often than
expected?
