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.

Do you have a diagram for converting 277 volt light to 110 volt?
It sounds like the fixture that you acquired was from an industrial site. 277 volts is the star point voltage of a 480 three phase system. You will have to change the ballast out to the proper voltage that you need. If you want to spend some money you can get a step up auto transformer to make the conversion but the cost would off set the cost of a new fixture many times.
How do you rewire a 400 watt metal halide shop light to run on 110?
400w is the power 110 is the voltage. Is your light using 110v already or 220v? Believe you are already running at 110 and u don't understand electrical terms. Perhaps you should call an electrician
How many watts of lighting is required in a 15' x 10' room?
'Lighting', or the amount of light is not measured in watts. A 'watt' is a unit of power, measurement of current drawn. Most 100 watt/110 volt lamps initially produce 1690 lumens (a 'lumen' is the measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted by a source). A 15 foot by 10 foot room is not very big, and one or two 100 watt incandescent lamps on a ceiling light fixture on a 120 volt service can light it adequately. I mention "110 volt" as in parts of the world with 220 mains these numbers change. As the voltage is doubled, the watts required would halve for the same amount of light. In other words, all other things being equal, a 50 watt 220 volt lamp should use the same amount of power, producing the same amount of light as a 100 watt 110 volt lamp.
Different types of voltage and current?
110 and 240
How do you covert 277 light fixtures to 110 light fixtures?
You need to rewire to a lower voltage at panel or get a transformer that steps down 277 to 110 volts. Make sure wire is sized for new load as well as breaker.
Can you use a 240V hanging light fixture in the USA?
No, hanging light fixtures designed for 240V are not compatible with the standard voltage in the USA, which is 120V. It could cause damage to the fixture and pose safety hazards. Make sure to use a light fixture specifically designed for use with 120V power in the USA.
Can US 110 ceiling light fixture be hard wired to 240 France?
No, a US 110 ceiling light fixture cannot be hardwired directly to a 240V electrical system in France. The difference in voltage will likely damage the fixture and pose a safety hazard. You would need to either use a transformer to step down the voltage or purchase a light fixture that is compatible with the 240V system in France.
Will a lamp or light fixture from New Zealand work without a converter in USA?
You will need a small converter as the outlets are different, as is the voltage. NZ is 240 while USA is 110. The converters go for about US$12 - US$20.
Is it possible to convert a 220 volt light a 110 volt by changing the ballast?
No, converting a 220 volt light to operate on 110 volts involves more than just changing the ballast. The entire lighting fixture and its components would need to be rated for the lower voltage to ensure safe and proper operation. It is recommended to purchase a light fixture that is specifically designed for the voltage you intend to use.
What does a 1993 ford fuel pump flow?
The factory Mustang pump is rated at 88 liters per hour. The Cobra's pump is rated at 110 lph. The factory Mustang pump is rated at 88 liters per hour. The Cobra's pump is rated at 110 lph. The factory Mustang pump is rated at 88 liters per hour. The Cobra's pump is rated at 110 lph.
Can you rewire a 240 volt light to 110 volt?
Although it would be electrically safe, you probably don't want to do this, as it would give off very little light, far less than 1/2 of the rated amount of light.
