OK kids, I have a 220/240 volt (USA standard) air compressor, it's out in the pump shack, (and other 220/240 VAC equipment with the same setup)I have a 240 volt standard light bulb(s) telling me it's (and the other stuff) online, I'm having problems finding replacement bulbs for that voltage here in the US. (it was hard to find them in the first place)
For those that don't know:
Standard US 220/240 volt AC circuits are 110/120 volts AC from both phases run to the motors, no neutral is used. (phase 1 at 110/120, phase 2 at 110/120)
I have the bulbs connected with one phase on the center button and one phase on the shell. (the part that screws into the socket)
The questions I have are:
One, will a 220 volt LED 60 watt light bulb from England work in this setup?
Two, do they have the same socket setup as a standard US light bulb?
I can find LED bulbs that will take 220/240 volts AC but I don't know if they will take 110/120 on both sides.
Stumped.
