    Question about amps/watts 220v vs 120v

    Hi. I have a switch that is rated 10a 220v. I am using it with 120v 500 watt work lights though and would like to know how many it can handle. Do I go by the 10a rating meaning 2 lights (1000 watts / 120 = 8.333 amps)?Or since it is rated 10a x 220 which equals 2200 watts could I use it...
