Mobile Table

[jackie1]

the lamp is quiet good to but like you say it has a weird plug on it has anyone managed to get this going yet? :goal:

I got that table and lamp 5 months ago. My hubby took it into work and got the electrician to change the cable and plug. I use the lamp every day with no problems.

Hope this helps

Hi All

Just reading the post and ref the lamp - the two pin job is indeed American. I have one of these adaptors but I'm sorry to say that you would probably only be able to get oe from the USA (no one got friends there - that's how I got mine). I have the American equivalent of the UK travel adaptor but obviously it would not be for sale in UK - am I making sense here? You might try an American web site which sells electrical stuff and get one that way (you would be after a travel plug adaptor for UK).

forgot to ask jackie what wattage bulb do you use in yours? and does it get very hot? i just wondering how long it would take to cool down when you switch it off dont want to burn a hole in any thing as i am mobile and will have to take it with me in the car thanks hun

If the lamp is american, the 2 pins will be flat as opposed to round and it will say somewhere on the lamp that it is 110 volt instead of 240 which we have here in the UK and the rest of Europe.

If the voltage is not 240, then you will definitely have to have a transformer to change the voltage to 240.

I use a 100 watt and it does get to hot to handle, but I'm not mobile anymore so it doesn't cause me a problem. Maybe a lower wattage or a smaller shaped bulb would help :idea:
Got your pm

Cheers

Hi all

I am really confused! I just picked my mobile table up from Sallys and I've had a look at the lamp and the previous messages and I do not have a clue how to get it to work. Please help :?

Thanks

Mine has a two flat pin plug and is indeed as Geeg says, American as it also states it is 120v. Hubby says the only thing to do is as Jackie's hubby did - get the lead and plug changed.
