It may work if the base is the same but it would only be half as bright.

Can you use 110v chandler in 220v country by changing a 220v light bulb The chandler said max 100w light bulb so do you need to use a smaller watts of a 220v light bulb?
The light bulb should still have the same limit - 100 watts, because the limit is set practically by how much heat they produce. You need to make sure the wiring in the chandelier is correctly insulated for the higher voltage.
An electric bulb is rated 220v and 100wWhen it is operated on 110v the power consumed will be what?
25w
Can you wire your 220v pendent light into a 110v system and just change the bulb to a 110v bulb?
If the lamp bases are the same for a 220 volt bulb and a 110 volt bulb, then yes. If any modification to the pendent lamp have to be done then no, as field modifications to electrical equipment will null and void the certification that the manufacturer had to obtain to be able to sell the device.
How many volts in an energy efficient light bulb?
The voltage must be adapted to whatever is the standard voltage in your city: either something close to 110V, or something close to 220V.
Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?
If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V. Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.

Can a 220V x 40W bulb bought in India used in America where supply standard is 110V x 60Hz and does the power consumed varies?
If you can use it in your lamp it will be a 20 watt bulb

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.
What do you need to change on a 110V lamp to use it on 220V such as wiring socket etc?
Yes, you'd have to change the plug or use an adapter, and also change the bulb. Thry make the standard "medium base" A19 bulbs in 220v also. here's a few: http://www.bulbs.com/Light_Bulbs/Medium_(E26)/200V+-/results.aspx
What is the power consumtion of a light bulb that is plugged into a 110v outlet and is drawing 0.727 amp or current?
Power is calculated from volts time amps. 110V x 0.727A is 79.97 watts. Note that power is not "consumed" but rather converted to other forms of energy such as light and heat.
Does a blown sidelight bulb put service light on?
No
What happens when you attache the wrong wires on a light fixture?
If the bulb's voltage rating is OK it will glow normally, If the mains voltage is 110V and the bulb is a 220v European one it will glow at half brilliance. If it is a 110V bulb and is taken to Europe it will burn out immediately
Can a bad lighting fixture cause a 110V light bulb to fail?
Not usually, the most common reason for a light bulb to fail is vibration. The very hot filament is very vulnerable and if tapped or shook could easily break. Most bulbs have one support in the middle of the filament. Rough service bulbs have up to three filaments supports but these types of bulbs cost more to purchase.
