View processing and transit times ›A practical reference for international voltage standards, frequency differences, device labels, and fixture compatibility, so you can install Liora Light products safely anywhere in the world.
Using a fixture with the wrong voltage can damage it immediately, trip a circuit breaker, or create a fire hazard. This guide explains the two global power systems, shows country-specific values, and helps you read the electrical label on a fixture or LED driver.
Identifying the local voltage and frequency is the most important step before purchasing or installing an electrical fixture.
North America and a few other regions use roughly 120V / 60Hz. Most of the world uses 220-240V / 50Hz. A device must support the local voltage or use a correctly sized transformer.
The United States and Canada use standardized 120V / 60Hz household systems. Type A and Type B plugs are standard, and most household lighting circuits are rated 15 or 20 amps.
Most European countries use 220-240V / 50Hz. Plug shapes vary: Type F is widespread, France commonly uses Type E, and the United Kingdom uses fused Type G plugs.
A plug adapter changes only the pin shape. A 120V-only device also needs a step-down transformer before it can safely use a European 230V socket. A device marked "100-240V" normally needs only the correct plug adapter.
Use this chart to verify household voltage, grid frequency, plug type, and general Liora Light compatibility before placing an order or installing a fixture.
Find the destination country, confirm the voltage and frequency, then check the product input label. Compatibility assumes the fixture or driver is marked within the local range. Japan requires individual confirmation because its 100V supply is below the standard 110-240V rating.

Japan's supply is below the standard 110-240V range. Many LED drivers tolerate slight undervoltage, but confirm the exact fixture before installation. Contact support@liora-light.com or call +8617507601417 .
Look on the back, underside, ceiling canopy, LED driver, or power supply. The input line tells you which voltage and frequency the device accepts.
Safe across standard global voltage systems. Only the correct plug or adapter is needed.
Requires a step-down transformer when used on a 220-240V supply.
Will not operate correctly in North America without a step-up transformer.
If the input label reads "100-240V, 50/60Hz," the device is dual-voltage and accepts standard electrical systems worldwide. A single rating such as "120V only" means a converter is required outside that device's home voltage system.
Modern LED drivers and many electronic power supplies accept a wide input range. Single-voltage devices require conversion when moved to the other global voltage system.
Works on standard supplies worldwide. Match the plug or socket shape; no voltage transformer is required.
Requires a step-down transformer when connected to a 220-240V supply. Size the transformer above the device wattage.
Requires a step-up transformer for North American 120V circuits and separate confirmation for Japan's 100V supply.
Choose a reputable transformer rated to at least twice the device wattage. For example, a 60W fixture should use a transformer rated at 120W or more. This reduces heat and avoids continuous operation at maximum capacity.
Dual-voltage means the electrical input is compatible. It does not make one plug shape fit every socket. A US Type A plug still needs an adapter for a UK Type G socket.
Liora Light fixtures are configured for broad dual-voltage operation, covering North American 120V and common international 220-240V systems without a separate voltage converter.
Covers standard household systems worldwide.
Suitable for both major grid frequencies.
