You can get adapters for the plug part at any Future or Best Buy stores . They are travel adapters for your items when you travel out side of the States and Canada .

The voltage is 220v which means the light will need it's own dedicated 220v line .

Wow a hundred bucks plus shipping seems a tad bit expensive . Nice but a bit too rich for my taste .
