At one point I heard a proposal to outfit large office buildings
with ~260 volt power at several ten of khz. This would go to the
lamps, which would have custom ballasts. The driving force was
several % improvement in efficiency-- a double payoff since it
also reduced the cooling load of the HVAC systems.

 It sounded like a workable idea. Nver heard any more, though.
