It only uses a two prong plug. Is that likely just as easily replaceable/modifiable as lamp cables or are there gauges of wire to consider, amounts of power, different ratings of two-prong plugs, etc etc? | |

Incandescent bulbs and other lights bulbs designed to fit in E27 bases should designed to operate with this. LED assemblies with E27 bases and Compact Florescent "bulbs" have built in power supplies. I'm sorry that you feel that replacing a plug is "unsafe." I do it all the time and the parts are readily available. You can buy cord assemblies if you want. dummies.com/home-garden/home-improvement/electrical-wiring/… | |
| Aug 25, 2016 at 8:06 | comment | added | tinpanalley | Thank you! When you say "your bulbs should handle" are you saying, 'the bulbs I already have should handle 120V 60Hz' or 'the bulbs you buy here should handle 120V 60Hz'? Also, replacing the plug has always scared me a bit because something about cutting off a plug and rewiring on a different one seems unsafe to me. Is that what you meant? I'd just rather replace the cable. | |
