Will the lamp I bought in Dubai work in my home in the US?

Asked by Allie (17541points) October 17th, 2015 from iPhone

I bought a lamp on my recent trip to Dubai which has, of course, a different plug. I can easily get an adaptor for the outlet to be able to plug it into my home wall outlets. My question is will doing so fry the lamp?
There are no tags or instructions on the lamp stating what the voltage is. My logic, which could very well be totally wrong, is that if I can plug in a floor lamp now, I should be able to plug in any floor lamp (a lamp is a lamp, no?).
I thought I’d better ask before I electrocuted myself or burned the house down.
