I found a light fixture I want to install for a remodel but it is $550/ea in the USA vs only around $180/ea for European model. I need 4 of them so $550 is a non-starter.
I am wondering if I can simply swap the bulb since this will be wired in?
Below is the two bulbs and the light fixture spec sheets.
European Bulb European Bulb
Replace with USA version, something like this… USA RS7 Bulb
Light Fixture details. European Specs - $180/ea version Lola Wall Lamp (RS7 European Version)
USA Specs - $550/ea version USA T-3 RSC Version - $550/ea

Notice that the European model says that with an additional terminal strip, it is usable at 120v. But without that, it is 230v.
If you can get the terminal strip, then you can probably do it, but not without it.
