Reply to comment by Mysterious_Lesions in Could I take the European plug end, cut it off the cord, and wire an American plug end to a light bulb on a wire? by Randomhero360

There are adapters that convert from European sockets to north American.

Years ago, my wife bought some cheap chandeliers from Christmas Tree shops and they were set up for European use (not sure it was even legal to sell them in the US, but that's another story).

I changed the plugs (actually just cut them off and hard wired them into ceiling mount boxes). Screwed in some cheap adapters from my local electrical supply store, and now we use regular candelabra base bulbs.
