I'd like some of the Canadian mercury, incandescent, and fluorescent luminaires.

Do you have many of these fixtures?  I have the means to run such fixtures.  Actually I can run pretty much anything save three-phase devices, and I'm working on that .

Doubling the 120V?  How do you plan to do this?  The only way that will work is with a transformer.  You should look for a variac that has a range of 0-250V with a 120V primary.

Mercury vapour ballast will NOT work.  Don't try that.  The open circuit voltage is different from the closed circuit voltage.  Also you are not guarnteed to have the proper voltage.  Your best bet is to run it on a 240 circuit or buy a transformer.
