I found a neat little lamp, but I don't know how to plug it in anywhere??? Weird 2 prong outlet thingy.

that's probably a low voltage fixture looking for a transformer.

my 2 cents anyway

I agree with this. See if any of the writing on that says what voltage and amperage is needed and get the proper transformer and wire it direct.

Transformer?.... Is it cheap? ...And can I find it at Radio Shack?

It's that way for a reason––please don't just cut the plug off and replace it with a normal 120 plug.

I can read "use" and "or smaller" on the fixture. Can we get another pic?

I can see 20W/12V. So it definitely needs a transformer.

I scrolled all the way through this and couldn't come up with a match for that plug in any country.
