The voltage on the box says 277 volt, but I think this is that they are rated up to 277, but made for 220 volts wiring.
Do hospitals use 220v for their lighting?
Is there a way to find out more about these light fixtures to be sure I wire them correctly?
I want to wire them to use as indoor lighting for a house, and will wire in a 220 breaker, but need to know if i am right about the lights and the voltage rating for the wiring.

Any advice is helpful and if you are an electrician, leave me an email or a website to learn more or to ask more questions.
The light fixtures are brand new and never opened and they were just throwing them away.

I have multiples, I want to wire them in parallel fashion to a 220 breaker in an existing house panel.
Am I right, will this work?
Thanks!
