I've just purchased 2 lights from the USA to be sent to the UK. Before

Now there's a sticker on the light saying: "CAUTION - to reduce risk

What are the chances of me burning the house down? I'd really like to
rule this possibility out!
Please help anyone!!


You mean you bought two light *fixtures*? Use appropriately sized 240V UK
lamps and they should work just fine.

You do realize the plugs and lamps are different in the UK ?

I don't know what base the lamps have in the UK. Perhaps he needs to
replace the lampholders too. If he liked the lamps enough to bother to
import them, it's probably worth it.
