Haha.... sounds like a silly question - but perhaps she is trying to get some amunition to refute a stupid salon advertizing regular low pressure as high pressure. In which case she deserves a reply.

The simple answer is YES... square (or retangular) lamp casettes are high pressure. Long round fluorescent tubes are low pressure.. even the new-era ones with extra UVA.

Inside the "square" casette is a tiny round "bulb" with gas fill at higher than atmospheric pressure. If you drilled a tiny hole in it with a diamond tipped drill it would go pffffft in your face.

The long tubes are filled with gas at less than atmospheric pressure (a slight vacuum). If you drilled a tiny hole in one it would go sffffft sucking air into it.

PS: don't go drilling holes in lamps unless...
1. They are "off"
2. You are wearing a face mask.
3. You have money to pay for destroying the lamp.
