Thanks Lachlan,
I borrowed a meter today from a friend who's fighting a power company
(VELCO) . They're trying to run a huge powerline here in VT.
I'm bringing it to work tomorrow ...it will be interesting to see what
I'll find. I do have an office at the far end of the building that I
believe is pretty safe, but the showroom/warehouse is basically one big
4000 square foot space with florescent lights . The electric panel is
also exposed. I was told by the electrician that halide lamps are also
"discharge" type of lighting that can cause a reaction in sensitive
people. I am also not able to go out in the sun at all without burning.
I am Italian and have never burned before. I'm sure I'll have more
questions as I get further into this.
