Shut off the power to the light circuit. Remove the old light switch if there is one. Remove the old lamp holder base. Make a diagram and note how the wires were attached, what colour screws to what colour wire. At the light switch wire nut the two wires that came off of the switch together. The switch plate cover will have to be replaced with a blank cover plate to cover the old switch box. Install the new pull chain lamp holder using the notes and diagram that you made. Some of the lamp holders that have a switch in them will not have terminal screws. The wire to the switch will be the "hot" wire. The other wire from the old lamp holder will be the neutral which should be a white wire. Insert the bulb and turn the power back on. Now the pull chain will control the light rather that the wall switch.

Is it possible to convert a 277 volt light fixture to a 110 volt light fixture by changing the ballast?
If you are talking about a fluorescent fixture then yes it can be done. As for the cost factor it wouldn't be worth it. To buy a new replacement 120 volt ballast separately would be equal to or higher that getting a whole new 120 volt fixture. Do a price comparison before going ahead and making a change to the 277 volt fixture.
