Light fittings
 
Could anybody who has already got there please advise us whether or not UK light-fittings are any use in Oz? We've got numerous ceiling and wall lights, which cost us quite a bit of money and we'd really like to take them with us.
Thanks

I defy anyone to get an Ikea light fitting to work either in the UK or in Oz :D
