I've just purchased 2 lights from the USA to be sent to the UK. Before
ordering I was told that the lights will be compatible with the UK
voltage!
Now there's a sticker on the light saying: "CAUTION - to reduce risk
of fire use 60Watt type b lamps MAX. only, 120V..."
What are the chances of me burning the house down? I'd really like to
rule this possibility out!
Please help anyone!!

You won't burn the house down, or at least it's extremely unlikely. What
will happen though, is hte bulb will blow almost immediately, and possible
with lots of energy g.

Don't use them.
