You can't run this light on a 120V circuit and get the same light output if it is designed to run on a 240V service. You need a voltage converter transformer. They are a common item sold for international travel. The difference in frequency shouldn't affect the light.

∙ 16y agoI think they cant because I made aDC t AC inverter with a frequency of 60Hz but whenever I powered up my appliances all other gadgets worked fine apart from the halogen bulbs which blew all the time.

∙ 10y agoYes. the voltages will be compatible. Though in North America it will probably be hard to find 220 volt rated lighting fittings as the common voltage rating for lighting fixtures is 120 volts.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on what type of unit you are talking about. Some equipment will and some will not. Most resistive equipment will work on both frequencies.

How do you convert 50Hz to 60Hz Air Circuit Breaker?
You don't.
How does 50hz and 60hz differ from one another?
ONE THING FOR SURE THERE IS NO CHANGE IN VOLTAGE IF SAME EQUIPMENT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE ISSUE HERE IS THE CHANGING LOAD FREQUENCY 60HZ TO 50HZ OR VICE VERSA. FOR EXAMPLE THE MOTOR HORSEPOWER AND R.P.M. WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 90 AND 83 PERCENT OF THE NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS, ALSO THE FULL LOAD RUNNING TORQUE WILL INCREASE APPROXIMATELY 8 PERCENT IF USED FROM 60HZ TO 50HZ.
Can you run a 60hz 110V motor on 50 hz 220V with a step down transformer?
NO dear we can not rotate a 110 vlolt motor on 220,but if your voltage is 110v then y can rotate it on 50hz ,no problem,but it will rotate at lower speed, ENGR. NASEER AHMED,PAKISTAN
How do you change a 220V 50Hz electric water heater to 60Hz 220V?
Not without spending a great deal of money. Appliances with motors and timers at 50 Hz would have to be changed out to 60 Hz components. Appliances that are strictly of a resistive nature will operate without any problem.
Will a 110V 60Hz home theater system bought in the US work in Singapore which uses a 220V 50Hz by just using a voltage transformer?
Your stereo system has an internal transformer in the power supply that is designed to operate at a given frequency. If it is designed to operate at the load your stereo system will use at 50 Hz, then yes. Otherwise this transformer will overheat when connected at the wrong frequency, and will burn out. You might be lucky and the power supply may be labelled to operate at 50 or 60Hz; if not, I recommend contacting the manufacturer. A voltage transformer will convert 50Hz 220 to 50Hz 110. To change frequency, you need special equipment.
How can you convert a 220v 50hz generator to a 220v 60hz?
you can't
Can you plug kettle 220V 50hz into 220V 60hz outlets?
Yes, no problem.

nothing
Will a 220v 50hz inverter work on 120v 60hz?
No, 120 v is not enough.
Can 220v 50hz CPU computer run 220 60hz power supply?
No
Will a 220V 60Hz work on 220V 50Hz?
Yes no problem the transformer should run a little cooler as well.
Can you use a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia?
Yes, using a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia is fine. The voltage of alternating current supplied to homes in Australia is 220v. The frequency of the voltage is 50hz.
Can a 230V 50Hz Rice Cooker used in 220V 60Hz circuit?
Most likely, yes. Most devices has been manufactured with an idea that they will be used in areas where the supply power frequency is 50 or 60Hz.
