I need a fixture that will install on a wall, something with a cord & plug.

How do I change a lamp from 220 V to 110 V?
I have purchased some beautiful crystal lamps in Germany, but will need to change wiring and plugs when I return to the USA. I would appreciate information on what I need to buy and how accomplish this task.
As long as the power consumption of the fixture is not too high, like upto 200 watts, you just need to change the plug, the light bulbs to 110V type, and no need to change the wiring. Normally, a 200 watt fixture running at 220V draws exactly 200/220 or less than 1 ampere. So, if you power your fixture to 200 watts at 110 volts, the current will be 200/110 which is less than 2 amperes. Normally they use a #16 or #14 wires in the fixtures...so, I think that should be okay. Summary: 1) Change plug to North American standard 2) Change the light bulbs to 110v type... maybe you could get a lesser wattage to draw lesser current 3) Optional: Change wiring to #14. Good luck
Which is safer/more effective, a bicycle handlebar-mounted light, or a head lamp?
I'm buying a new bicycle that I will sometimes need to ride after dark. I used to have a head lamp for walking my dog at night, which was pretty bright. I could use a head lamp again for other tasks, so I'd like to know which is safer and more effective for biking at night since I'd prefer to buy only one product if a head lamp will be sufficient.
To be legal at night the bike must be equipped with a light. Whether you want to also wear a light on your head is your choice.
