But if it is just a light, I would think the right bulb would have it

if you can not get a bulb that will fit and work at your voltages.


Should have provided a bit more info. There's a center bulb that I think
runs straight line voltage, have to scope out the wiring to see. But the
issue at hand is the circular fluorescent bulb, the starter and
transformer, wondering if they'll function OK on 50Hz. Otherwise I'll
have to scrounge a used circular fixture and use the local flavor bits.
Have to go dig it out of storage and have a closer look at the wiring.

If there is a label left on the light, it will probably say 50-60Hz or
Cycles if it is rated for it.
