What do you mean by "regular lamp". Is it an incandescent?

You should get CFLs with reflectors for that plant. I show how to make an efficient CFL reflector here. As a safety tip, use some electrical tape so there's no chance of the foil coming in contact with any electrical parts. I've seen enough receptacles wired up wrong in residential areas that people really should use some electrical tape with foil reflectors.

Scotch Super 33+ is a far superior electrical tape, particularly at higher temperatures, than generic electrical tape. Any electrician would tell you this.

edit: speaking of safety, a GFCI adapter is also a real good idea with foil reflectors and grow ops in general.

Be sure to use a GFCI!

There are four potential problems.

  • The difference in voltage. Bangladesh is 220v 50Hz as opposed to 110v 60Hz in the US. Check that your electronics are okay with this -- most are but it's generally in tiny writing on the transformer. If you're electronics aren't okay with this, then you need a transformer to convert the power to 110v (your electronics still need to be able to handle 50Hz).

  • The shape of the prongs. You can get one that tries to do everything, but I prefer ones like these and just take the one I need which is smaller and more reliable. Most of the AAA stores sell these.

  • Plugging a grounded cord into an ungrounded outlet. With most of the travel adapters you can just do this -- the ground prong misses the adapter and is too short to interfere with the wall outlet. I had one where I needed to file down the plastic a bit to make it work, but most just work.

  • Plugging a grounded cord into an ungrounded outlet safely. If this is safe is another question. Most electronics just use the ground outlet in case of a surge that causes arcing, but some need it to reduce interference. If you're really worried about arcing, you can get a GFCI adapter -- under most US building and electrical codes you can install a 3-pronged GFCI outlet and not connect the ground since the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter is a type of circuit breaker that will cut the power if anything connects to the ground. So if you have a GFCI adapter you can cut off the ground pin and be reasonably safe. Although finding a GFCI that can handle 220v in the US can be difficult, so you're probably better off not bothering.

Not just grounding probe for a stray voltage, but a GFCI outlet or an adapter. It will interrupt current if triggered.
