we had a few 440hz hits in the navy (fleetwide, not on my ship that i can recall). no fun. notice the frequency, not the potential, kiddies

Very high voltage and current through a body will cause physical trauma where as around .1 to .2 amps of current through your heart can cause potentially fatal arrythmias.
Kind of a stupid saying though.

true. burns vs heart stops or current-induced clenching, ill take neither please.

Safe isolation tbh.
Been an electrician for five years, not been zapped once.

How did you end up getting zapped like that? Were you in the rain or something

He was sweaty. It danced all over him. Personally, i won't change Flos' while hot. Those ballasts put out a lot of voltage. It's like getting bit by a ignition coil. Which seriously fucking hurts.

It was about 105 degrees in a hallway with no AC on a ladder, the fixture was older and i couldn't line up the pins in the sockets right so i had fingers of each hand on either end of the 4 foot bulb trying to guide the pins in the socket all sweaty an voila ! I completed the circuit, the current ran from hand to hand across my chest ... not good. Voltage in a floruecent light is amplified, much more than 115v.

Also, changing lamps when hot shouldn't be a problem if you isolate the circuit
