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.
If you don't know how to install light fixture, I don't recommend that you do it by yourself. The installation theory is actually very simple - all you need to do is attach fixture on the ceiling (or any other place) and then connect the electrical wires (usually there are two of them). After that it's good to put the light cover over the fixture to improve the appearance.
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.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.I want to add an exhaust fan to the existing light switch, it's already on a 20 amp circuit, it's only got 1 light and 2 receptacles on it. However, I popped the cover off the switch today to find that the switch is not wired normally, with the 2 white leads tied together behind the switch, and the black leads going through the switch. Instead I have only 1 black lead, and 1 white lead in the box. The white then leads back to the black lead on the existing light. With just the two wires in the switch box, it means that the junction you will have to tie into is in the light fixture junction box. The usual wiring in this type of connection is, the circuit "hot" is connected to the white wire that goes down to the switch box and connects to the top of the switch. Code states that this wire should be identified as a "hot" conductor by having a black tape identifier on it. The voltage returns back to the fixture on the black wire from the bottom terminal on the switch. To tie a fan into this circuit it has to be paralleled to the light fixture at the light fixture junction box. Connect the fan feeder's white wire to the neutral (white wire) in the light fixture junction box. Connect the fan feeder's black wire to the black wire that returns from the switch and parallel it to the wire that is now connected to the light fixture. This will give you a connection that will turn on the light fixture and the new fan, from the same switch.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-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
You should never trust any wiring without using a tester (get one at hardware or home improvement store. ) in USA, White/grey/bare wire is neutral, colored wire is hot (live). In a pure 240v connection, there are two hot wires and no neutral wire. Sometimes they still use black and white for this. If you are seeing black and red wires you might be looking at a split phase panel -- you'd best check that out
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.If this is a regular incandescent fixture, the manufacturer probably just used white wire for cost reasons.Before you connect the fixture's wires you should take a close look at the fixture and make sure that the wire that goes to the shell of the bulb socket is connected to neutral wire (usually the white wire in the ceiling box) and the wire that is connected to the center of the socket goes to hot (usually the black wire in the ceiling box).If this is a fluorescent or hid (metal halide or sodium vapor) lamp fixture, please consult the directions or contact the manufacturer for installation instructions.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 THISWORK SAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

The light bulb will probably burn out, if the fuse of the lamp does not burn out first. On the other hand, a lamp with 240V rating can still be used in the USA, but the light will be about half as bright for the same light bulb.

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.
