Converting 110V chandelier to 220V

light-fixture

I have a Kathy Ireland chandelier bought in the US with 110V. Can I use this chandelier in the Philippines having 220V Electricity?

Best Answer

Yes.

The bulbs required for most chandeliers are either the candelabra type, or Edison base type. Just need to order some rated @ 220v. Rewiring the chandelier is not necessary.

If using a dimmer, take note of the dimmers maximum wattage rating which here in the US are usually rated at 600 watts. 10 bulbs x 40 watt is 400 watts regardless if the voltage is 120V or 240V.
