A load using two hots instead of a hot and a neutral only means the voltage applied is additive. In a three phase power system, instead of using one hot and one neutral (yielding 277 volts), they use two hots (yielding 480 volts). This will lower the current draw of each light and therefore increase the number of lights that can be put on one circuit. Electricity doesn't need a neutral to return to the source. It can travel back on another 'hot', as well.

Can you get 120 volts from a 480 volts 3 phase Y generator?
NO, the 480 Volts Y -- is 4 wire system, with three wires which are hot legs @ 480 volts between each three hot legs. A mid tap is a neutral leg (ground) the white wire. Which gives 277 volts between it and any of the three hot legs. so a 4wire 480 volt Y system. Gives 480 /277 volts.

Why is light fixture hot?
When electricity runs through the fillament in a light bulb, the electrons move so fast that they generate heat, which also creates light. Light bulbs actually create more heat than light.
