Note, you better change your bulb since the 240V in the UK will burn it out almost immediately.

Thanks everyone!!

So, two things - I guess lamp is a bad description - the thing I have is more like a string of christmas lights.

Both wires are white. Does it matter which one I attach to each side of the UK plug?

thanks again
