The quick answer is you don't. Normally a 220 V fixture would be in a commercial location. Since Voltage = Current x Resistance the current for the 220 V case would be 220/R. Since R won't change your new current would be 110/R. Depending on the lamp type, the lower current will make the bulb dim or it won't light at all. Always use the proper voltage for a device to avoid dangerous situations.
Most 220 volt equipment will work on 208 volt supply. If the machine has a resistive load then the watts output will be lower than if supplied from a 220 volt source. If it is a motor load you will find that the equipment may run a bit slower but most motors will take the lower voltage. If the machine is a plug in device, install the appropriate receptacle to match the pin configuration and plug it in. If it is a hard wire installation this should be done by a qualified person.
The end sockets have to be rewired. The schematic for the rewire is on the ballast label.
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
no but connector used in 110 rated have to be different in 220 rated system ------------------------ They are very much different. If you place a 110v rated fixture on a 220v circuit, all else being equal, you will double your current flow and odds are it isn't designed to carry twice the current. It will burn out. On the other hand, if you place a 220v rated fixture on a 110v circuit, all else being equal, you will only draw half as many amps as it is designed for and likely won't get any light. It won't burn out, but it almost certainly won't work. There are many fluorescent light fixtures that are rated for more than one voltage, however. They have internal mechanisms that allow you to connect them to different voltages and still work properly. But the fixture still has to be rated for the voltage that you connect to it. The first answer above is correct in that cord and plug connections in the same installation (home, building, business) must be different for different voltages.
the voltage and frequency are 110v and 50(or)60hz because the devices which are invented in us are work at that voltage and it is efficient for that devices.
No, a device designed for 110v will not work on 220v without a voltage converter.
No, a device designed for 110v cannot work on 220v without a voltage converter.
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.
Yes, it will work on either voltage.
you need a transformer (instead of rewiring) from 220v to 110v The above answer will work but it is not correct. All lighting fixtures installed in Canada have to be CSA certified. If you really like the design of the lamp then you could consider rewiring it with certified CSA components You can buy replacement lamp parts at any DIY outlet. Change out the lamp cord and plug end along with the lamp (bulb) holder and you will have a certified fixture.
yes it can definitely work
Yes, but you will need a converter to convert the 220v into 110v. You can buy these at WalMart or RadioShack.
Yes it will. The only thing that you have to keep in mind is that in Angola the power is 220V so U'll need a power brick with 220v. Or U can buy a power converter to convert 220v to 110v.
No. Freinds don't let freinds do shabby electric work. Do it right.

It may work if the base is the same but it would only be half as bright.
This isn't an answer- it's from the questioner :) Just to clarify: This is the small, apartment-sized, stacked washer-dryer unit. They used to commonly come in 110V. They are still out there but old and sell for same price used as the used newer 220V. So we'd like to buy a newer used 220V and convert if possible and safe. Don't know the watts on these, tho. But must not be as large as regular sized dryers?
