INTERNATIONAL LIGHTING CONVERSIONS FOR U.S. ELECTRICAL STANDARDS
Bring Global Lighting Home. Safely & Seamlessly
Found the perfect light fixture abroad or inherited a piece from overseas? Panache Lighting offers professional international lighting conversions, adapting European and other foreign fixtures to U.S. electrical codes without compromising design or functionality.
Whether it’s a 220V Art Nouveau pendant from France or a Scandinavian modern sconce, we’ll ensure it functions safely on 120V American power while preserving the original aesthetic.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
International Lighting Conversion Service
We provide complete fixture adaptations for residential or commercial projects, including:
-
Voltage adjustments (220V to 120V)
-
Socket replacements to fit U.S. standard bulbs (e.g., E26, GU24)
-
Rewiring with UL-listed components
-
Fixture evaluation to ensure compatibility with U.S. dimmers or controls
-
Mounting hardware modifications for U.S. ceiling or wall standards
-
Grounding and testing for safe operation
Whether your fixture is antique, modern, or artisan-made, our workshop ensures it’s both code-compliant and design-respectful.
Why International Fixtures Need Conversion
International lighting often differs in key areas:
-
Voltage (typically 220V vs. U.S. 120V)
-
Wiring materials and insulation types
-
Plug and mounting standards
Attempting to use an unconverted light fixture in the U.S. can lead to flickering, blown bulbs, or even fire hazards. Our service ensures your imported or inherited piece is safe, compliant, and ready for installation.
Frequently Converted Fixture Types
We regularly handle:
-
Crystal and Murano glass chandeliers
-
Industrial pendants from Europe
-
Vintage ceramic sconces
-
Table lamps and floor lamps
-
Art Deco or Bauhaus fixtures with rare bulb sizes
If you’re unsure whether your piece needs conversion, we’re happy to assess it and walk you through the process.
