am interested in buying a bedside lamp from US but will need to change electrical plugs - trying to determine how easy this will and if worth buying lamp from the US.

      There are adapters you can purchase…your local hardware store should have them….that way you don’t need to change out anything.

      You’ll have to get readily available adapters. Australia runs 220VAC @ 50 Hz. If you just snip off a plug and put a different one on, you’re very likely to damage whatever it is you’re attempting to power.

      An aussie supplier in the items you see for sale on us websites are made in china they also make them for aus.
      An aussie supplier in the same style as the items you will probably be better off buying one you will probably be.
      The same style as the items you want most of the same style as the same style as the one from an aussie supplier in the.
