This type of conversion could be troublesome. To change to 120 volt system means that the feed wire has to be rated for underground use and rated at 300 volts. Where as the existing low voltage wiring does not have to be subjected to these rules due to using low voltage. The lamp socket in the post is next. It has to be rated at 120 volts and the existing low voltage socket can not be used.

Can you rewire a 240v lamp light fitting or small appliance to 110v and if so how?

It is not recommended to rewire a 240v lamp light fitting or appliance to operate on 110v. This can be dangerous and may lead to overheating, electrical fires, or damage to the device. It is safer and more practical to use a voltage converter or purchase a new device designed to work with 110v.


Could a lamp bulb 110v-130v 2w 17mA be used on a 120v 40w bulb max lamp?

Yes. As long as the voltage is designed for the lamp and the socket and fixture can handle the heat (from the rated power in watts), you can. You will probably find that the socket or connector for this lamp is different than the one intended.

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.


What happens when you connect a 240 v lamp to 110 v outlet?

If you connect a 240V lamp designed for higher voltage to a 110V outlet, the lamp will likely not light up properly or might burn out due to insufficient voltage to power it. It's important to always match the voltage requirements of the device to the voltage supplied by the outlet to avoid damage and safety hazards.
