The presence of the red wire in a light switch situation usually involves a 3 way switch. The light itself would only have the black and white running to it but the switches have the extra wire between them for the traveler.

See the Related Link shown below for a diagram, or just Google "3 way switch diagram".

You can't. You first figure out what the red and black do and why there is no white. Then you call an electrician to explain grounding/earthing wires and how to get a proper ground to the green wire before someone is electrocuted.

You can't operate 220 V equipment from 110 V power, and therefore cannot do what you are asking.

If on the other hand you want to run 110 V equipment from 220 V power, don't use the red wire. However to meet the electrical I think you are required to add a circuit breaker or fuse on the new 110 V branch circuit.

The other wire from the thermostat will connect to the other wire from the heater.

I see only a red and a green wire coming out from ceiling box. What are they and how do you connect them to a ceiling light?

Normally red or black is the hot wire and green is the ground. However someone may have used the green wire as the neutral wire which is normally white. Just connect the black wire from the light to the red wire and the white wire from the light to the green wire and see if it works. If not you have to pull the wires out of the ceiling box and see how they wired it.

How do you wire an RJ11 telephone jack?

To connect an RJ11 telephone jack, first, strip the telephone line providing the dial tone. Then, strip those wires to show the copper. Then, loosen the screws on the jack. Connect the red wire to the red screw, and tighten the screw. Connect the green wire to the green screw, and tighten the screw. Connect the black wire to the black screw, and tighten the screw. Connect the yellow wire to the yellow screw, and tighten the screw. If the wiring does not match the colors of the jack, then follow these steps: First, connect the blue wire to the red screw, and tighten the screw. Then, connect the blue/white wire to the green screw, and tighten the screw. Then, connect the orange/white wire to the black screw, and tighten the screw. Then, connect the orange wire to the yellow screw, and tighten the screw. Then, screw the jack onto the wall with the appropriate screws. Connect a working telephone to the jack, and check for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then you have successfully connected all of the wires to the jack. If you do not hear a dial tone, check to make sure that all of the wires are securely on the screws, and that none of the copper has come off of the wire.
