I wont be touching random parts of this circuit while its turned on. I have been working with mains voltages for many years and i know how painfull it can be. I will be as careful as i always am when dealing with high voltage
We are just concerned about your safety..

I will now sound like the old gezzer I am and say that I have been "playing" with high voltage/amps for I will bet more years than you have been alive.

I see NO reason to risk your health and safety doing something like this. I would not try it. To many things that can and probably will go wrong. Yes it can be done, but why? Just to say you did it?

Do like timmers suggested and run multiple strings from a lower voltage.
