we’d like to buy up several premium standing lamps in NY before returning to Australia. We would get them changed professionally but don’t even know if it is possible.
Presumably standard bulb lights would be easy

      You can get voltage adapter kits at HD, Lowes, Menards, Radio Shack, etc. Should cost around $20.00.
