If I use it as a desk lamp (base station switch on, wall wart connected) and I turn off the 120v, does the light continue to shine?

not sure what wall wart means... but if you have the base plugged in and the power goes off, the light remains on.... The base power switch needs to be on for charging - but the light works connected or detached as long as it has a charge. I love this lamp...

Greetings, you would have to change the lamp out, and have a plug adapter. It is initially, for 110 volts. hope that helps.

It probably should. Providing that the lamp is only using old-school tungsten filament light bulbs. As this unit drops the supply voltage its output becomes increasingly "noisy" as in: it puts out a square wave. If you need voltage reduction with a nice sine wave preserved, get a variable transformer, the sort made to control the speed of small motors, like the ones found in wood working shops.

Doubtful - the 120v plug goes to a power supply that takes anything from 90 to 240 volts. Adding a dimmer will only make the power supply work harder to compensate.

I've installed 8 of these lamps in my garage off of a single 110v line on a power switch. You can splice and run to each lamp no problem.

The light should light up and spin instantly when plugged into a standard 120V outlet. There is no switch or delay with the light.

I believe it would be off. I use one of these with my porch light. The wall switch is always in the on position. The light bulb is controlled via the Socket Rocket, which is turned on/off via a PalmPad Remote Control or a Mini Timer. To simulate a power outage, I turned the light on via remote control, then turned the wall switch off and back on. The light did not come back on after I turned the wall switch on. I had to use my remote control to turn the light back on.

Check the actual wattage... It is safer than a standard light. But with all lights, it should be clear of debris. After all you have 110 VAC plugged in...follow the manufacture instructions.. Totally safe

Yes. I don't use it that way but it's really just like one of those things you plug in to give you more outlets to a single plug-in with the option to switch it off. I love mine. I use it as an on/off switch for an antique lamp. Makes on/off as east as pie without having to install a switch on my Victorian lamp.

definitely not. this has an internal circuit board that changes the voltage from 120VAC to 12Volt. This means the light won't dim it will simply turn off.

As with most lamps it is just wiring to a socket, so it will operate at higher voltage, however the insulation and heat dissapating components are designed for 120V. The lamp is clearly marked as 120/60Hz AC only. Perhaps a low wattage LED or CFL might be safe, however If you had a fire, would your insurance cover you (assuming you survived the fire) when you have a non-approved setup? I would buy something manufactured for your electrical system.

It should work with a 220 volt system. The back of the device fits over a standard on/off wall light switch and moves it up or down with battery power, not household current. It does not plug in, and there is no electrical connection between the device and your electrical system. I agree with James Carey's comment and disagree with those who say it will not work. The only issue should be the size of your switch, the plastic knob that goes up or down to turn the lights on and off. I am set up on a 120 volt system, so have not personally used it on 240volts. If it does not work for some reason, I have found Amazon to stand behind its products, so would probably be returnable. It should work with a 220 volt system.

The lamp I received has three 15 Watt bulbs supplied (Marked in Chinese). The lamp itself is clearly marked "110V" (110-120V @ 60 Hz is standard US power). The supplied plug is standard US 3-pronged with two flat and one round (ground) conductor. I doubt it would work but it is possible a different version is available. The lamp appears to be Made in the PRC.

This bulb is 12 volt only. If the transformer is installed to deliver 12 volts to the socket, fine. But, what is to gain by using a transformer, which lowers your efficiency by loss through heat and noise and em field generation, in this type of conversion? This bulb offers an impressive amount of light for a low watt consumption on a low volt system, such as solar or a battery system. More light is available quite efficiently for your 120 volt post lamp using cfl or led lamps available for same.

The electronics in the light to make it work require 120 volts at 60 cycle. Over seas it is mostly 220volts at 50 cycle. So no,it will burn out unless you R at a U.S. Military Base

No, you must have 110/120 volt power going to it. We replaced old light with this one so we just used the same power connections.

Yes - the instructions that come with the lamp has a specifications box which says:Power - AC/DC adapter: AC 100-240V to DC 12V-@A (or 1.5a)
