Does the NEC regulate open socket voltages? Can I put 277volt to you average light socket (med or mogul)? I want to remove old Mercury Vapor lamps and ballast and wire the fixture strait to the socket for 277v and then screw in a custom made led lamp.

I cant afford the full fixture retro fit at this time and I got a great price on leds!!!

the max allowable voltage is usually molded into the lampholder. You should be just fine, but as barbeer said, it violates the listing.
