not sure if anyone has knowledge of this, but figured its worth a shot
ill be in chile soon, the power there is 220v 50hz
if I have light bulbs for 120volt power could i safely connect it through
ABIĀ® E26 Light Bulb Socket to 2-Prong US AC Power Cord Adapter with On/Off Switch, 12 FT Cable

to
a powerstrip
then to an adapter on the wall
or would it just be cheaper to buy them there
any help would merit felatio

Just buy them there. Chances are the dimmer in your fixture might not work and it's not like this is such an uncommon item that you'd have to haul it along on your trip. Plus, the adapter needed may cost more than a locally procured simple fixture.

Thanksa bunch, I'll probably do that
Mostly im worried about finding something like the picture above, it's perfect for my purpose
So far haven't found any online with the right prong
maybe big hardware stores carry them?

They almost certainly will. It's basically just a cable, a socket a plug and a switch right? Worst case scenario you have to buy the parts and assemble it yourself, which is maybe a 15-minute job and requires only a small screwdriver and a kitchen knife.

Well, I'm technically just one person But I'm quite confident that you'll be able to find an apprpriate fixture over there.
