There is a major difference between making something work, and making it
work safely. Equipment grounding conductors are NEVER used to conduct
anything but fault currents. You'd create an electrical hazard by using a
ground instead of a neutral for your 120 volt circuit

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?
