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.

Can US 110 ceiling light fixture be hard wired to 240 France?

No. France also runs on 50Hz as opposed to the US 60Hz system.


Is 220V US the same as in France Europe?

Europe uses 230V used to be 240 but was changed a few years back. In France, voltage is 220V and frequency is 50 hertz


Will a us xbox work in angola?

Yes it will. The only thing that you have to keep in mind is that in Angola the power is 220V so U'll need a power brick with 220v. Or U can buy a power converter to convert 220v to 110v.


Can you use a 240V hanging light fixture in the USA?

As long as it's a regular incandescent light fixture, and the sockets will accept US bulbs, with provisions for grounding, then yes. You may need to upgrade the wiring to a heavier guage; I'd suggest 14 guage stranded wire through the entire fixture. If it's not incandescent, then no, unless it has a multi-tap ballast.


Can you use a French socket in Denmark?

There are two facets to this question: Can it be used safely, and can it be used legally. This applies to foreign fixtures in any country. This is a matter of the rating on the components. You cannot exceede the voltage capacity of the outlet or it will arc internally. The voltage of the circuit feeding the outlet must be the same as the voltage the outlet is designed for. You can use a 220V US NEMA outlet on European 220V safely, but you can't use a US 110V outlet. Also, the overcurrent device on the circuit must be less than or equal to the maximum current rating on the fixture. A 10A or 15A breaker is okay for a 110V 15A US outlet, a 20A breaker is not. If you respect the voltage rating and insure the current rating will not be exceeded, the fixture should be safe. This is another matter entirely. It is a matter of wether or not whatever regulating body that certified the outlet is recognized in your country. You will need to contact your local building inspector / code inforcement person to find out for sure. I wouldn't get my hopes up.


Will a lamp or light fixture from New Zealand work without a converter in USA?

You will need a small converter as the outlets are different, as is the voltage. NZ is 240 while USA is 110. The converters go for about US$12 - US$20.

How do you wire 240V straight blade outlet when both screws are brass?

Both screws are brass because in the US you need two hots to get 220V. In a 220V only circuit you do not connect the neutral, only two hots and a ground. This is why 220V breakers are twice as wide as 110V and have two terminals instead of one.


Why light fixture has red and white wire instead of white and black?

In the US (and others?) black is hot and white is neutral. The two are never connected together. However, the code allows a white conductor to be switched hot if the ends are properly identified, such as by wrapping with color identifier (usually black) tape. Before you make any changes, however, look at the entire circuit. If an error has been made in one part, it is often that a "correcting" error was made in another.
