The answer is possibly. There is no guarantee that the insulation designed for the lower voltage will be adequate at the higher voltage. The danger of electric shock should not be scorned.
The cost of a new lamp is not daunting, and if the lamp is an heirloom item, then that value should enable the wiring and switches be upgraded. Don't take chances.

Does fluorescent lamp work by DC voltage?
Fluorescent lamps can be used in the District of Columbia.If you were really asking if they can be supplied with direct current, the answer is yes, but they really don't like it. They prefer to be supplied with alternating current, or AC, so you'd have to "chop" the DC or use it to drive an inverter, which will change the DC into AC.There are florescent lamps and CFL's made specifically for 12 and 48 VDC applications available through specialty alternative energy stores.
How can you plug 2000 watts 240v into a 120v 20 amp breaker with out replacing your breaker and all the plugs on the line?
You can't.

On a 220 volt circuit where the white wire is common how many volts would the red wire be?
3 OR 4 . you only need 2 wires for 220, 1 phase is 120v between 2 of them its 220v . you also should have a ground for the third wire ,and the newer stuff requires a neutral or white wire for the 4th wire. hope i helped , D
What is the advantage of using screw type bulb holder over pin type bulb holder?
There are no real advantages with using a screw (Edison) base lamp over a pin (bayonet) base lamp.There is, however, a major disadvantage with using screw-base lamps. It's very important, with screw-base lamps, that the line (live, hot) conductor is connected to the centre terminal of the lamp holder. If not, the outer screw base of the lamp will remain live as it is being unscrewed, and this represents a shock hazard.Even if the lamp holder is correctly installed (wired), there is still the possibility that the circuit may be incorrectly wired at (in the case of table lamps, for example) the plug or, in the case of North American table lamps fitted with two-pin plugs, the plug may be inserted into the receptacle the wrong way around (although this is less likely, these days, as the line and neutral pin sizes are different).The above scenario is impossible with bayonet lamp fittings, as the pin terminals are insulated from the metal base of the lamp. Furthermore, a bayonet lamp can never be partially-screwed into the holder, causing a high-resistance connection.So, in general, bayonet lamps represent a better and safer design.
If you have low voltage lights in your yard and you want to install a decorative street lamp how do you increase the voltage to power the 120V street lamp?
you don't run a new 120 line

Why a lamp cannot run with the telephone line voltage?
A lamp can be run by power from a telephone line.
What is the line voltage between two lines?
the voltage between 1 line & phase =120v The voltage between 2 line =240
Why are you not getting 240v between the two hot wires?
Because they are "in-phase". In order to get 240v, you need two 120v Alternating Current lines that are 180° out of phase, that is, opposite phases. Only when one line is +120v and the other -120v will you see 240v between the wires.
Does daewoo nexia 1.5 have a lamp indicator for fuel?
Yes, there is a lamp for the fuel. It is on the same line, where all other lamps are lokated, in the right end of the line.
Why is there a curve and not a straight line in the graph for a filament lamp?
I had to answer this and found out that............ The line on the graph that represents the filament lamp is curved because the resistance of it increases with supplied voltage Hope this is alright for you :) x
What will happen when the shunt motor is connected across the supply line directly?
If the motor is designed for 120V or 220V whatever the case, it will function properly.If it is a 12V motor and you supply 120V it will make a mess and you will probably get hurt from flying debris!
How can you plug 2000 watts 240v into a 120v 20 amp breaker with out replacing your breaker and all the plugs on the line?
You can't.
What is a Widows Lamp?
The Widows Lamp is a lamp in the Iditarod Dog Race. It is lit when all the racers start and is not extinguished until every racer has cross the finish line in Nome.
