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.

∙ 17y agoNo, if the ballast are rated for 220 volts and you plug them into a 110 volt outlet you do not have enough current to light the lamps at 110 volts.

How do you replace dining room light fixture?
If you don't know how to install light fixture, I don't recommend that you do it by yourself. The installation theory is actually very simple - all you need to do is attach fixture on the ceiling (or any other place) and then connect the electrical wires (usually there are two of them). After that it's good to put the light cover over the fixture to improve the appearance.
What countries use 240V?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.The US runs 240V single phase in almost all residential applications.It just so happens that the 240V is center tapped to make 120V/240V split phase, but that is still a single phase application.For more information about the supply services in other countries, please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
How do you wire an exhaust fan to an end of circuit switch?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.I want to add an exhaust fan to the existing light switch, it's already on a 20 amp circuit, it's only got 1 light and 2 receptacles on it. However, I popped the cover off the switch today to find that the switch is not wired normally, with the 2 white leads tied together behind the switch, and the black leads going through the switch. Instead I have only 1 black lead, and 1 white lead in the box. The white then leads back to the black lead on the existing light. With just the two wires in the switch box, it means that the junction you will have to tie into is in the light fixture junction box. The usual wiring in this type of connection is, the circuit "hot" is connected to the white wire that goes down to the switch box and connects to the top of the switch. Code states that this wire should be identified as a "hot" conductor by having a black tape identifier on it. The voltage returns back to the fixture on the black wire from the bottom terminal on the switch. To tie a fan into this circuit it has to be paralleled to the light fixture at the light fixture junction box. Connect the fan feeder's white wire to the neutral (white wire) in the light fixture junction box. Connect the fan feeder's black wire to the black wire that returns from the switch and parallel it to the wire that is now connected to the light fixture. This will give you a connection that will turn on the light fixture and the new fan, from the same switch.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
How do you wire a ceiling light that doesnt have a black or white wire?
It will have 2 black or brown wires. Look very closely at the wires coming from the light. One of the wires will have ridges on it or may have a white line or some other method of identification. That wire is the neutral wire and connects to the white wire in the ceiling box. The smooth wire is the hot wire and connects to the black wire in the ceiling box.
What happens if you transpose 240V with 110V?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Voltage is the pressure that electric current (amps) is pushed by. In any given circuit, wattage (power) is what is used to run an appliance. Wattage is produced by 'pushing' a given amount of current.However, the material in which the current is pushed (wire) can stand only so much pressure. If you use 240V on a 110V line, the wiring will no doubt burn.If you attempt to use house current on a 240V rated appliance, you will "over-amp" the device and damage it.If you transpose 240V with 110V and the load is inductive it will not operate. If the load is resistive then you will only get one quarter of the rated wattage if the voltage is reduced by half.I beg to differ with the statement," If you attempt to use house current on a 240V rated appliance, you will "over-amp" the device and damage it." There are many home appliances that utilize a 240 volt supply. The hot water tank, clothes dryer and cooking range to name a few.

Could a light at 110 voltage be used in UK?
The light bulb will probably burn out, if the fuse of the lamp does not burn out first. On the other hand, a lamp with 240V rating can still be used in the USA, but the light will be about half as bright for the same light bulb.

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.
