Mercury Vapour Lamps



Just a quick question with regards to the recent thread on the Dennerle 
bulbs:

Can a mercury vapour bulb designed for the European 240V system be used 
safely in North America?
At a given resistance, you'd have roughly half the voltage but twice the 
current flowing through it. Are these bulbs capable of handling this?
