The Fornasetti lamp that we purchased in Paris was shipped to us a month ago, but it wasn’t until today that we could finally plug it in and enjoy it. We knew when we purchased the lamp that we would need an adapter for the plug, since this one had a type C plug with two rounded prongs. What we didn’t realize until we were looking for an adapter is that European lamps are rated for 230 volts, whereas 120 volts is the standard in the US.
Tim and I read differing reports as to whether we would need a converter or if we would need to rewire the lamp. I contacted Fornasetti, but didn’t get a clear answer.
Finally, Tim took the lamp to a high-end lighting store and asked them. Thinking that the lamp would need to be rewired, we were so relieved when we were told that replacing the plug was all that was required.
We picked up the lamp today, and it is now at home in our living room. Looking at it makes me smile.
