Can I rewire a standard two prong lamp plug so that I can use it as a ceiling lamp?
No problem. But watch the wattage on the bulbs. The heat is going to go the opposite direction. And the lamp is ment to be in the opposite stress position so that it could be much less stable than when sitting. But wiring wise it is the same, just wire the two wires in the ceiling to the two on the lamp. And there may be issues with code requirements. Overall it is better to be safe than sorry and use a lamp designed for the ceiling.
