Default Over voltage supply - Any potential problems

Since we moved into our current house we've had a few brownouts and
power cuts so I decided to fit a UPS on my mail server and firewall.
Having plugged in my APC UPS it is reporting 'over voltage'. The test
indicator shows that the voltage is between 248-256v.

Are there any implications for this excess voltage? We've recently
converted most of the house over to energy saving bulbs because
regular filament bulbs were blowing on a regular basis. Is this a
possible symptom?

Regards,
Jason.
