OK. If you have
normal residental home wiring you will actually have 2- 110 volt lines
going
to your BS. Add them up and you get 220 volts. The lamp will probably
continue to have 1 single 110 volt line going to it.

It'll work but it's against code and (somewhat) unsafe. To split off
120V you need a neutral.

Electric ovens and ranges have the same set up.

Electric ovens have a neutral, or at least they do now.


Correct, I was just trying to point out a logical picutre. Absolutely they
have neutral lines.
