This light is compatible with European 220v electrical systems but wire colours may differ and correct bulbs may or may not be readily available.

Consult your electrician for hard wired installation or to change bulb sockets (or for plug change if this item is a lamp). In the US and anywhere a 110v system is in place - this light may or may not require rewiring to meet your local safety standards and correct bulbs may or may not be readily available.

They will be able to advise on the potential need for rewiring, bulb socket changes, or if this item is a lamp, for plug change.
