Nobody has "240 watt mains". Perhaps you meant "240-volt mains".

You would need to have a lighting or receptacle branch circuit, with over-current protection, in order to use any halogen bulb.

However, if you have a 300 W bulb, it should work nicely in a 15-A or 20-A branch circuit.

Using a 300 watt halogen bulb on a 240 watt mains power source is not recommended, as it could potentially overload the circuit and cause damage. It's best to use a bulb that is rated for the same wattage or lower than the mains power source to ensure safety and optimal performance.
