Yes. But not the other way. 120 volt one, cannot withstand 220volt.

Can you use a 120 volt lamp where a 240 volt lamp was used?
No, the bulb would last about 5 seconds... if that.
Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?
no , it will burn out
Can you use a 125 volt bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
Yes, the voltage listed on the bulb is the nominal voltage and it will work perfectly on a 120 volt circuit.
Can you make a 230 volt fluorescent lamp work in a 120 volt socket?
No, do not waste your time.
What happens if you use a 120 Volt bulb where a 130 volt socket?
If your supply voltage is 120 volts the impact of switching from a 145 volt lamp to a 130 volt lamp would be, the 130 volt bulb would not have the same lifetime as a lamp operating on 145 volts. The upside would be that the light output would be greater. This is based on both of the lamps having the same wattage rating.
A 60-watt 120 volt lamp requires morecurrrent than a 40 watt 120 volt lamp?
Yes. A 60W bulb has a higher resistance than the 40W buld. The extra resistance requires more current to light up the bulb. The fillament then glows brighter.
What is the resistance of a 120 volt lamp draws 0.25 amperes of current?
v/i=r so 120/0.25=480 480 ohms is the resistance
Can a 120V light fixture be used in India?
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.
How much power is used by a 120-V car battery that draws 0.5 A of current?
Cars do not have 120 volt batteries. They are 12 volt DC.
Which contact is bigger on a 110 volt plug?
on a standard 110-120 volt recptical the larger contact is the neutrial (white)side the smaller contact is the "hot" side
Can you use a 145 volt bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
No, a light bulb rated to work in a 120 volt lamp will not work properly in a 12 or 24 volt low volt lighting fixture. I don't believe it will harm the fixture. If you did get a 120 volt light bulb to fit into a low voltage light it would probably just be dim.
