As long as it's a regular incandescent light fixture, and the sockets will accept US bulbs, with provisions for grounding, then yes. You may need to upgrade the wiring to a heavier guage; I'd suggest 14 guage stranded wire through the entire fixture. If it's not incandescent, then no, unless it has a multi-tap ballast.

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.
No, if the ballast are rated for 220 volts and you plug them into a 110 volt outlet you do not have enough current to light the lamps at 110 volts.
Turn off the power to the fixture at the circuit breaker. Remove the old fixture by unscrewing and disconnecting wires. Install the new fixture by connecting the wires following the manufacturer's instructions. Secure the new fixture in place and turn the power back on to test it.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.The US runs 240V single phase in almost all residential applications.It just so happens that the 240V is center tapped to make 120V/240V split phase, but that is still a single phase application.For more information about the supply services in other countries, please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
To wire an exhaust fan to an end of circuit switch, connect the hot wire from the fan to one terminal on the switch, and connect the hot wire from the power source to the other terminal on the switch. Connect the neutral wires together, and ground the fan and switch as needed. Ensure all connections are secure and follow local electrical codes.
No, joining a red and black wire together will not give you 240V. To obtain 240V, you typically need to connect two hot wires (black and red) and a neutral wire. It is crucial to follow proper electrical codes and guidelines to ensure safety.
No, you should not connect the red and black wires together. The red wire is typically used as a switched hot wire, while the black wire is a constant hot wire. You should connect the new black wire from the light fixture to the black wire from the ceiling and the white wire from the fixture to the white wire from the ceiling.
