I just purchased a pendant lamp for my kitchen and its from europe. I believe its 220v. I currently have a 60w "regular" light bulb screwed in and cants seem to get the light to work. Do I need a 220v bulb or is the issue with my wiring 110 to 220? Thanks

Your wiring is fine so don't touch it. You do not need to get a 220 bulb but you may need to have the fixture re-worked with US parts. I don't believe the european socket threads match you bulb so it isn't screwing in all the way. You can probably buy a suitible replacement socket at the hardware store.
