If its a filiment bulb, I'd say yes, if its other, then no. connecting it to a 240V grid would only make it go brigter (and probably a shorter service life)

How can you get 277V from residential service?
1You could get 220-240V from using the two live ["hot"] wires rather than one live and one neutral. 2Tim, Industrial control transformers are available to get 120 volts from 277 volt systems. If you feed one of these with 120 volts to the secondary coil, it will put out 277 volt from the primary. However, these are rare and are not cheap. If you are trying to use surplus 277 volt fluorescent lights on a 120 volt system, it would be cheaper to replace the ballasts in the fixtures. Another approach would be to use an autotransformer with a 240 volt primary and a 32 volt secondary. If you feed it with 240 volt and wire it to boost +32 volts that will give you 272 volt which should run the lights. But again, you are looking at $60 - $100 for one circuit of lights. 3If you have access to three phase power..... Phase to ground on a 480v 3 phase system is 277v.
When is white wire hot?
In residential wiring, if it is used as a switch leg or in 3 wire 240 volt circuits.
Can you replace 240 volt service with 480 volt service?
240 volt service is residential, split single phase. 480 volt service is commercial/industrial, three phase. In theory, with the approval of your municipality and electric utility, you could replace split single phase with commercial three phase service. However, the equipment for the replacement (transformers, feeder wire) would likely not be provided by the electric utility and would have to be bought by you. This equipment cost usually makes any benefit of such equipment not cost effective. Not to mention the cost doesn't end there. Your building electrical system would have to be rebuilt as a three phase system. That is like apples and oranges. You wouldn't even be able to plug in a typical 120v load without connecting transformers to step down the voltage.
Can you use 24 volt transformer to powers 12v lights?
You can if you want to connect two 12 volt lights in series with each other. Make sure that the 12 volt lights are rated for AC and not DC.CommentFurther to the above answer, you must also ensure that the two lamps have identical power ratings, or the lamp with the lower power rating will be brighter than the one with the higher power rating!
Where can you get a 12 volt photocell dusk to dawn switch to control a series of low volt lights hooked up to a 12v battery and solar panel?
Home Depot
Is a 240-volt service available to a customer who has a two-wire residential service?
Not in the US of A.
Can you use a 300 volt consumer LED light fixture in your 120 v residential system?
No but it is not clear where 300 v consumer lights can be bought anyway.

How do you install 12 volt lights on 48 volt cart?
If your cart has 4, 12 volt batteries in series to make up the 48 volts, just connect the 12 volt lights across one of the batteries.
How is electrical energy delivered to the end users?
End users generally subscribe to an electrical service according to their power needs. A residential home, for instance, might have a three-wire, 220-volt, single-phase service rated at between 60 and 200 amps, to a service panel supplying 110-volt and 220-volt branch circuits. A commercial end-user may need three-phase 277/480-volt system supplied on 4 wires, rated for 800 amps overhead or more underground.
Are there 600 volt residential service drops for electricity?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A voltage of 600 volts is not as prevalent in the US as it is in Canada. The US operates on 480 volts. These voltages are mostly used in commercial and industrial applications where large motors and large loads need to be connected. In Canada and the US there are no 600 volt residential service drops that I have heard of.All appliances for residential connections operate off of 120/240 volts in the single phase category and 120/208 volts in the three phase category.
What if you plugged in a 110 volt in a 120 volt?
Typically residential voltage may range from 110 to 120 volts so there should be no problem.
Would you be able to use US 120 volt lights on UK 230 volt supply?
no
What size conductors are needed to run a 650 foot residential underground electric service for a 200 amp service?
A 350 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 200 amps for 650 feet on a 240 volt system.
How do you hook up 12 volt lights to a 36 volt battery system?
With some difficulty. Easiest way would be with three lights connected in series, shining at the same time.
Can you use armored cable to wire 277 volt lights?
Yes.
Do you wire 12 volt down lights in series or parallel?
Parallel.
