    Using 120v lights in a 240v track
    Hello,

    I have a 240v lighting track installed in my home (I live in Australia where the current is 240). Assuming it fits can I plug in a 120v lighting fixture to this track and insert a 240v bulb to it?

    Thanks so much for your help in advance!

    Ryan.

    As long as it's rated for 240v, and it fits properly without modification, I don't see the problem.
