I feel for you, Bruce. A few months ago I had an issue with my florescent lights not operating when switched on. Checked at my panel and found 118 volts on one leg, and 104 on the other. DTE sent out a tech to look into the problem. Three hours later he returned to tell me he found the problem, and it was resolved. The issue was a poorly installed transformer lead on a pole 4 blocks away from my home. The whole grid was in a semi brown out. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
