Hello all,
I bought an Italian lamp from Europe and have it in the USA now. It takes E27 light bulbs (i.e., European threads) and is rated for 220-240v. There is a dimmer on it as well which says it can handle 220-240v and up to 300W. The lamp itself has three 70 Watt bulbs (which I also bought from Europe). This is the lamp I bought if you need more info:

I assumed that I need to buy a voltage converter and did that for $25.

However, I was reading here:
https://www.fodors.com/community/eur...220-to-110.cfm that I may be able to just use the lamp if I simply convert the plug with an adapter to fit US electric outlets. Is this true? I further understand to make this true I'd need to use US bulbs (with E26 threads).
It works with the converter but the converter is an "eye-sore". So I am wondering if there is an alternate way to use the lamp without ruining it.
Thanks to anyone who has info - it's sure hard to find online.
