It can be if you connect two same watt lamps in series with each other. The 240 volt supply will drop 120 volts across each lamp.

What is a pin based fluorescent light fixture?
A pin based fluorescent light fixture is the type of fixture that takes fluorescent tubes. On each end of the fluorescent tubes there are contact pins. These pins are used to hold the tube in the fixture and to supply the voltage to the tube from the fixture's ballast.
Can you put a keyless light fixture on a pier?
No, they are not designed to be used outside and can only be used inside.
What is a vapor tight fixture light?
It is a fixture that has a hermetical seal that keeps fumes and vapours from the electrical parts of the fixture. A good example of a vapour tight fixture is one that is used in paint spray booths. These types of fixtures are not to be confused with explosion proof fixtures which are in a different category altogether.
Can a 220V light fixture be used in the US?
Yes, you can easily use it. Just install it as you would any other 120 volt light fixture and change the bulb from a 240 volt bulb to a 120 volt bulb. It will work just fine.
When wiring a light fixture does black go black and white on white?
If these are all the wires you have then this would be a great assumption. It assumes also that everything before the fixture is wired correctly and with commonly used color schemes.

How many watts does a recessed light used?
The wattage rating of a recessed light is governed by the amount of heat it can dissipate. The wattage rating is set by a standards organization and has to be adhered to by the manufacturing company. The label that is on the recessed light fixture is the maximum size incandescent bulb that can be used in the fixture. Depending on the bulb size used in the fixture will reflect the amount of watts the recess light will use.

What is the plural of candelabrum?
The plural of the noun candelabrum is candelabra (candle tree, a light fixture).The term candelabrum refers to a single part of the fixture, or a candlestick, and is seldom used to refer to the fixture.
How do you change the tag light on a 1998 Crown Victoria?
Very easy to do. Remove the two cap screws from the lens fixture (uses a 6mm socket, I believe). Very carefully use a flat tip screwdriver to gently pry the fixture from the underneath side of the trunk lid, and it should hang down with the light fixture attached to it. The fixture is made of a rubber-like plastic, so gently working it side to side will free it from the lens fixture. Remove the bulb from the light fixture by pulling it straight out (looks like an ancient camera bulb). You could use a 161 or 168 light bulb, but I used a 194 bulb (costs a little over $2.00 at O'Reillys) to reinstall into the light fixture. Going in reverse method, place the light fixture into lens fixture, and reassemble the lens fixture back to the trunk lid. Piece of cake!

Does a 277 volt fluorescent fixture cost less to operate than a 120 volt fixture?
Not necessarily. It's the wattage of the lamps that determine how much power is used. 277V lighting merely allows for more lights to be on a circuit than if they were on a 120V. The current that is printed on the ballast, times the voltage the ballast is connected to, is what determines the cost to operate the fixture. This is the true wattage of the fixture. The wattage of the lamps are independent as new electronic ballasts can power a numerous amount of tubes of various wattages.

How do you convert a wall light to a plug-in?
Simply replace the light fixture with a plugin. There is most likely a box behind the light that will either accept a plug as is or a cover place can be used to allow the use of a plug in that box.
Can you use a 67 watt light bulb in place of a 60 watt bulb?
yes, it can be used - single phase voltage of 230v. 50HZ is important
Will a diode work as a light dimmer when switched or added in series to an incandescent 120 volt AC bulb?
Actually, I have seen this in a respected electronics magazine (Elektor) quite some time ago: A diode (selected to be capable to handle the amps, the voltage and the heat from the bulb - if placed inside the lighting fixture) is used to "cut off" one half of the AC sine wave and thus sending pulses of 120V to an incandescent light bulb, simulating a simple dimming device. The proposal was meant to run 240V bulbs at 50% of their brightness but I am pretty certain this concept can be used to run 120V bulbs from 240V power. One other way of connecting 120V bulbs to 240V would be to connect two 120V bulbs OF THE SAME WATTAGE in SERIES, so the two bulbs form their own voltage divider. Not sure what happens if one bulb burns out - I would expect the other one to blow too, as a dying light bulb represents zero Ohms (plasma/arcing) for a few milliseconds before it goes dark forever.
