I have a 220 volt line that powers my pool pump. I want to run 110
volt lights near the pool pump and would like to convert 220 to 110.
Is this as simple as taking the 220 wires, and connecting only one hot
wire side with the common wire and ground wire to a standard 110 volt
outlet?- Hide quoted text -

They make 220 v lightbulbs you know.

Living temporarily in Europe where it's all 220V, 50 Hz, we use our
same lamps and just buy the 220V bulbs. Works fine.

Sure you can buy transformers but for lights there's no point.
