Hi guys, I have a lamp shipped from the US to give as an Xmas present. Obviously it needs an adaptor and a 240v bulb but will the bulb holder and the switch on the wire be OK?

On the back of the switch it says 3A/120v AC 125 VL. There is also a sticker on the wire that says 110-120V, 26 W Max. On the bulb holder it says 120V 60Hz only. On the wire itself is engraved 300V.

Will it be OK to just use an NZ bulb and wall adaptor? I think so but wanted to check with others.

Cheers
