I picked this up yesterday while buying a Top Card pinball from a British guy who is moving. Any of you experts out there able to identify what I have? Maker, model, best way to convert to us voltage? Thanks!!

Not sure what bulb is in it. How do I get into it? Does it open from underneath?

So here's the latest. I found a travel converter in a drawer and tried plugging the lamp in. Nothing. I saw the 220v plug said there was a fuse inside so I opened it up and found a weird sized 3 amp fuse in it - blown of course.

I got a mini 3 amp fuse to fit in the holder (a little too small but it fit) and re-tried. Still nothing. I then removed the globe and saw the lamp uses the bayonet style bulb inside as referenced above. Of course, it was blown!

Now I'm trying to decide whether to locate a replacement bulb and see if the lamp works or just replace the entire socket and plug first. Thoughts?

Just got back fon the hardware store!

And voila!! Turned out pretty good I think!
Thanks vid for the reminders on wiring code. I think.i got it right. I put the switch on the side that goes to the tab and the little plug.

I just read our beloved president is banning most incandescent light bulbs as of Aug 2023. Do we need to stock up on a lifetime supply of bulbs for our beloved lava lamps? I don't see any efficient substitute. Also wondering if this will affect the traditional pinball light bulbs.
