There comes a time when you simply have to upgrade your electrical service. A 60hz service was never designed to handle all the power requirements of a modern home.
When the 60hz service came in, it was designed to handle a few lights and a few receptacles. I'd be surprised if you had more than 4 circuits on your board and I'm betting that you are blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers constantly.
Bite the bullet, upgrade your service.
Use a transformer to lower from 220 to 110V.
It may work if the base is the same but it would only be half as bright.
No
Do not do this.
No.
220v and 110v are almost the only voltages used around the world because they are the most efficient.
Depends. Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them. If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.
The fact that it's supposed to. Voltage is stated as the difference between the two wires carrying electricity to the load. When they bring power to the house from the utility, you get two wires carrying 110v but they're 180 degrees out of phase. Imagine one carries positive 110v and the other carries negative 110v. If you hook one of these wires plus a neutral (zero volts) to the load, you get 110v--110v over 0v. If you hook both of them to the load, you get positive 110v over negative 110v, or 220v. So...red to white is 110v, black to white is 110v, red to black is 220v.
yes, but you need a transformer to convert it,
All three, on 110V a split receptacle, on 220V a baseboard heater, on 440V a construction heater or similar resistive load.
Yes. If the computer power input is only rated for 110V input, you can power it from 220V by using a voltage converter from 220V to 110V with appropriate wattage. Some computer power supplies also have a switch for setting 110V/220V in which case computer can be powered from 220V after changing the setting. Most of the portable computers/laptops have power adapters which are rated for universal voltage (e.g. my Dell laptop AC adapter is rated for 100-240V 50-60Hz).
Oh yes. They do provide 2-wire 220V and even 2-Wire 240V service in Europe. We went a different way in the States early on when we attached a center-tap wire in those same service transformers to provide 2 x 110V services, along with one 220V service. It is worthy to mention that 110V (220V) services in the US progressed to 115 (230V) and now stand at 120V (240V).
