If you are asking about high intensity discharge lighting lamps, there are multi tap ballasts that can be use for these fixtures. These types of ballasts use a variety of voltages for supply side of the ballast. These voltages include 120, 240, 277, 480, 347 and 600 volts. The lamp used in these types of fixtures is the same regardless of what the supply voltage is rated at.

How do you rewire a 220v lamp for 120v?
To rewire a 220V lamp for 120V, you will need to replace the existing 220V bulb with a 120V bulb that is compatible with the lamp's socket. Next, you will need to install a 120V compatible power cord that matches the voltage requirements of the lamp. It's important to refer to the lamp's manual or consult with a professional electrician to ensure the rewiring is done correctly and safely.
Why would a high watt lamp draw more current than a low watt lamp?
Power is measured in Watts, power (Watts) = E (volts) x I (current - amps) current is determined by the internal resistance (R) of the lightbulb, the lower the resistance the more current will flow. 120v x 0.5a = 60W 120V x 0.83a = 100W the 100W lightbulb will draw more current We also have Ohm's law: E(volts) = I (amps) x R (ohms) Household voltage stays the same at 120v we have for a 100w lamp: 120v = I x R R = 120v/0.83 amps R = 144.6 ohms for a 60w lamp: 120v = I x R R = 120v/0.5 amps R = 240 ohms The higher watt lamp has lower resistance.
How much amperes does a 40W fluorescent lamp draw?
A 40W fluorescent lamp typically draws around 0.33 amperes in a 120V circuit. This is calculated by dividing the power (40W) by the voltage (120V) to get the amperage.
Would a lamp bought in India work in US if you supply 120V or will it burn out?
it will work but the light output will be markedly reduced.
What is a reverse connected 120V ballast?
A reverse connected 120V ballast is a type of ballast that can operate a fluorescent lamp with reversed polarity. This means that it allows the lamp to be connected to the power source in reverse compared to a standard ballast, providing flexibility in certain lighting applications.
What voltage is used in commercial area in Canada?
120v, 240v and 347v for lighting

If you put a 60W 120V bulb in a 120V lamp that has a transformer for 240V and plug it into a 240V outlet will it work or blow the circuitry?
Off hand no but your explanations are not clear as to who is doing what to whom,,

Can a 120V light fixture be used in India?
It can be if you connect two same watt lamps in series with each other. The 240 volt supply will drop 120 volts across each lamp.
If you have low voltage lights in your yard and you want to install a decorative street lamp how do you increase the voltage to power the 120V street lamp?
you don't run a new 120 line
How do you get 347V?
347V can be obtained from a three-phase power system, where the phase-to-phase voltage is 347V. This typically involves connecting three alternating current power lines that are 120 degrees out of phase with each other to create a three-phase circuit, which results in a higher voltage output than a single-phase system.
Are 120V and 208V the same?
no 208v is bigger
Can you use a 120V table lamp on a 227v line?
The answer is possibly. There is no guarantee that the insulation designed for the lower voltage will be adequate at the higher voltage. The danger of electric shock should not be scorned. The cost of a new lamp is not daunting, and if the lamp is an heirloom item, then that value should enable the wiring and switches be upgraded. Don't take chances.
