My friend wants me to bring her a pendant lamp she saw here in the US. Assuming the socket and wire are easily removed (which I can tell before I leave the US) should I anticipate any problems rewiring it for her appropriately once I am in the UK. The lamp simply hangs from it's cord with pulleys. The cord goes into a simple metal housing and is completed with a conical ceramic shade. The whole thing is more or less in the shape of a bell hung upside down. I know what the standard innards of an American light look like, but I've never explored English lighting in that intimate a fashion The lamps are being shipped to me and then I have to decide whether to try to lug them to Carlisle with me. Seems like she could have found something closer to home, but these are what struck her fancy. I leave May 18, so help needs to come quickly! thank you, I don't think I mentioned that the lamp is direct wired into ceiling, not plugged to an outlet. Becky
