I have multiple European lamps and a chandelier. All you need is a European to US plug adapter (NOT a power converter) and US bulb. Some bulb sockets are different but usually not. They are widely available online (Amazon, Walmart, Target) and cheap.
If there’s no US equivalent sized bulb, you can sometimes get a socket adapter. I’ve never had an issue with light output being different or using any type of bulb (incandescent, halogen, CFL, LED).
I grew up in Europe and we did the exact same using US lamps. Just slap a plug adapter on and go. Easy peasy.
