I just received the two Mathmos lamps below and I'd like to get them flowing today. I live in Salt Lake City, UT and was curious if anybody knew of a store which would likely have the necessary converter needed? I've searched a bit online but I'm not seeing anything available nearby and it appears that the soonest I could receive the $30 converter off of Amazon would be Monday. All of the bases have 3 prong plugs.
Any tips or pointers are greatly appreciated.

When you order the convertor do NOT forget to get the proper power strip so you can plug in more than one at a time
Are there any precautions I should take when running this? The last thing I want to do is burn the house down before Christmas
Not really and you lucked out to find one with 2 sockets
Just dop not exceed 80% of the capacity of the converter
This looks like an 800 watt one so do not plug in more than 650 watts of light or it will not run the lamps at proper capacity
Perfect, that’s good to know. I’m excited to get home and get them going. I have no idea what I’m going to do with all of the extra Astro bases which the seller included. I’m guessing the top caps probably aren’t an easy find

I have a few in stock (I'm in USA-Illinois/ Wisconsin border)
