How do you wire up a 240v lighting fixture?

(1/1)

lightingfan8902:
If I get a 240v street light, how do you wire it up (I know its two phases with no neutral)?

Mike:
Get a dryer cord. Black goes to one fixture wire, red goes to the other fixture wire. White is unused unless you have a 240V street light with a 120V PC socket. 240V has no polarity. It doesn't matter which hot goes where. That only matters with three phase.

Binarix128:
You can basically use the two phases of your house (if you have), or use a step up transformer.

However, in China, we can directly connect 240V appliances, although our mains power is 220~230V
