No, it is not safe. The lamp is rated for a certain voltage, 125 volts, and supplying 240 volts to it would exceed design safety margins. It is not just a case of changing the bulb.
It would be a different story if the lamp itself were rated for 240 volts, but that's not what the question said.

∙ 11y agoThe lamp will operate more brightly, but its life will be shorter. Because it is brighter, it must be operating at a higher temperature -so, provided that higher temperature doesn't harm the lamp holder or enclosure, then the answer is yes, you can.

Can you plug in a 125 volt 30 amp plug in a 120 volt 30 amp outlet?
No, it is not recommended to plug a 125 volt 30 amp plug into a 120 volt 30 amp outlet. The voltage difference may cause damage to the equipment and pose a safety hazard. It is important to use the correct voltage outlets for your devices.
Can a 220 circuit breaker run a 120 light bulb?
No, a 220 circuit breaker is designed to handle higher voltages than a 120 light bulb requires. Using a 220 circuit breaker for a 120 light bulb can result in damage to the light bulb or a potential safety hazard. It is better to use the appropriate circuit breaker for the specific voltage requirements of the light bulb.
How many lumens in a 125 watt CFL?
A 125 watt CFL bulb typically produces about 5400-6200 lumens.
Can a 125 volt cable power a 120 volt piece of equipment?
The first thing we have to do is clarify the question. A cable rating of 125 volts is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. So to answer the question yes, the 125 volt insulation rating on the cable can be used to supply a source of 120 volts to a 120 volt rated piece of equipment.
What percentage is 150 volts 0f 120 volts?
150 volts is 125% of 120 volts.
Can you use a 125 volt bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
Yes, the voltage listed on the bulb is the nominal voltage and it will work perfectly on a 120 volt circuit.
How do you convert a 125 volt to a 120 volt receptacle?
You tell yourself the 125 volt receptacle is a 120 volt receptacle. They're the same thing.
Can you plug a 120 Volt 30 Amp tanning bed into a 125 Volt 30 Amp outlet?
yes
Can I Replace 2.5 volt Christmas bulb with 3.5 volt bulb?
NO! There are 50 bulbs in a 2.5 volt string or 125 volts. There are 35 bulbs in a 3.5 volt string or 122.5 volts. If you put 50 3.5 volt bulbs in you will have 175 volts and most american house have 110 volt service so you will have dim bulbs.
Can you plug in a 125 volt 30 amp plug in a 120 volt 30 amp outlet?
No, it is not recommended to plug a 125 volt 30 amp plug into a 120 volt 30 amp outlet. The voltage difference may cause damage to the equipment and pose a safety hazard. It is important to use the correct voltage outlets for your devices.
What is 125 percent of 120?
125% of 120= 125% * 120= 1.25 * 120= 150
Can a 220 circuit breaker run a 120 light bulb?
No, a 220 circuit breaker is designed to handle higher voltages than a 120 light bulb requires. Using a 220 circuit breaker for a 120 light bulb can result in damage to the light bulb or a potential safety hazard. It is better to use the appropriate circuit breaker for the specific voltage requirements of the light bulb.
