Monday: lamp I ordered arrived from Amazon.
Clearly poor build quality and took almost an hour to assemble.
Then I realized it’s a US plug. Ok have adapters, but… wait… *checks notes* 120V 🙄
I happen to have a transformer as a temp solution, but does anyone know if it’s just the bulb rating? Or is the socket / wiring also an issue if I hook it up to 240V?
