I bought the lamp it works with my normal globes but I bought the sun globes and they blew, do I need a voltage converter ? I just bought a travel plug....I am in Australia..

You have to check the voltage. I believe you have to since the two countries have had different voltage. 110 v in the US and that is much lower than in Australia. That is the reason why the lamp blew.

Hello you need to make sure it is rated for your countries voltage. It has a step down transformer. Why don't you call or email the company . I love mine I can operate by switch or just leave it on it comes on Automatic at night and morning goes out .the 3 lights give a very nice light good lighting but not I blinding More of a soft light which is great,and eats very little power.

These lamps are not 3 way and are 110V standard. Would recommend using no higher than 40 to 60 watt cool bulbs.

I do not see any way on the lamp to switch to 240V so I'm guessing they cannot be used in Europe without a converter (but I'm not 100% sure).

Good question. I don't know. I bought two of these style globes and neither has had the bulb burn out yet. One of my globes is on very often too.No instruction. It looks like you'd have to take the globe apart.

send it back for a refund. You need both prongs in order for the bulb to work. :) Hope this helps.

Sorry, I have no idea if it is compatible with your electricity there. Contact the manufacturer. These lamps are really attractive and I have many compliments on them. Good luck!

As far as I remember it will work on either voltage. Mine is on 110 or 120V. Look at the plug in, if it has regular 120v volt plug like your other 120v plugs for instance table lamps.

The lamp has a sticker that says 110 Volt Input Only. It does come with the bulbs. Have you considered a step-down transformer?

Hello Dave, These are basically fluorescent light bulbs with switches. So if a conventional 110v to 240v convertor works on a light bulb, it should work with these products. There is not a switch that goes from 110v to 240 v like a computer has on it's power supply.

That lamp is actually only wired for 110 volts. Unfortunately, there is no 220 version.

I believe they are saying a SHORT a19 incandescent bulb, maybe because the globe would be closer to the plastic cage and possibly melt it. A standard a19 should work fine.

I'd recommend buying a lamp from Mathmos, they make 240-volt lamps and are better quality anyway. Mathmos is the original producer of Lava Lamps.

Nope. It's really just so simple :) Just a suggestion, tho: I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

The lamp comes with a power adapter that plugs into the base of the lamp. There is a label right above the plug on the base of the lamp that reads "DC IN 12V". In this case, you would just need an adapter that converts power to 12V DC. With this said, the adapter that it comes with is made for the US, but is also universal voltage and dual frequency. It reads "INPUT: 100-240V~50/60Hz 45-70VA 0.6A" and "OUTPUT:12V===2.0A". The model number for the power adapter it came with is: 12V Ktec KSAS0241200200D5 Cheers

You can charge this in the UK at 220-240v but need to buy a proper step down USA to UK converter which you can pick up in Maplin etc for about a tenner and plug the supplied 110V charger into it. I tried using a UK charger that matched the US charger output specs but it did not work. Once I purchased the step down converter and used the 110v charger that came with this lamp, it charged fine.
