Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?
If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V.
Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.
As long as the total WATTAGE of the bulbs is the same, you should get the same light and the wires will handle the load just fine. Was this answer useful? Thanks for the feedback!
What would you like to do? Can you use a 110V lamp with 220V just by changing the bulb and using an adapter on the plug? Make sure you only use higher voltages with 'simple' appliances such as bulbs of the correct voltage, do not try it with anything motorised - it would result in… an expensive explosion.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
