You need a neutral wire. Household 220 is two 110V hot wires that are in opposite phases, so the voltages add. Each of these hots will provide 110V when used with a neutral. It may be routed with the two hots, and it may not. If there isn't one there, it will need to be run from your breaker box. If you have only one outlet or appliance to connect, you only need one of the two hots on one terminal of the outlet. The other side is where you need the white neutral.

You cannot rewire this scenario best thing a add a 1:.5 transformer with the right power rating. Don't forget transfer losses This can be done. If you are still interested open a discuss question page.

The 220 voltage is stepped down to 110 volt by utilizing a 220 to 110 volt step down transformer. It depend on where you live in the world. In North America the standard home voltage is 120/240 volts. If your service was 120/240 volts all that would need to be done to obtain 120 volts is take one leg of the 240 volt connection to the neutral wire. L1 to N = 120 volts, L2 to N = 120 volts, L1 to L2 = 240 volts at 60 Hz. If your service is in the UK or European community and your service voltage is 220 to Neutral you would require the transformer to obtain the 110 volts, keeping in mind that the voltage would be at 50 Hz.

Not advisable since the lamp is likely only rated for 110-120VAC.

No, the plugs are different to prevent this and even if you could the lamp would be very dim.


What is brighter 60 Watt 110 volt or 60 Watt 220 volt?

If the voltage supplied to the lamps is its operating voltage both lamps will have relatively the same output in brightness. If the 60 watt 110 volt lamp is used on a 220 volt supply, it will glow very brightly and then the lamp's filament will burn open. If the 60 watt 220 volt lamp is used on a 110 volt supply, the lamp will glow at half brightness, but it will last for a very long time before the filament burns open.
