    I'm configuring a lamp, and need to get the socket/bulb into a tight area, I'm familiar with mechanical engineering and have designed an attachment that would work awesome with a dc male/female adapter. There'll be 4 edison style light bulbs (4 W each). I was going to wire the male end of the...

    Hi, hopefully someone can help me or point me in the direction of a forum who can. I was recently looking into replacing my current bedroom lamp, but I love it so much I thought maybe some refurbishment and a paint job would breathe new life into it. Not sure where to start, though. I'm not sure...

    Dear DIY I am renovating a broken lamp called Muuto Leaf floor lamp (see pictures). The touch sensor for this LED lamp is broken and I am going to replace it, however I am unable to open it up. I think it is glued but I am not sure, there is no screws. As you can see I have tried to separate...

    Looking for tips on how to keep the lantern level on the pole? It fits over the top of the pole but there are a few millimeters of space between the lantern top and the pole base so it wiggles. There's some snap on looking things and a hole for a screw. I guess I could try finding a black...

    Hi all. I just bought some cheap floor lamps at Walmart that were on deep discount, and the main lamp has a 3 way socket. I want to change the socket to a standard because, 3 way LED's are expensive, and I don't like running the 3 way Incan's in the warmer months because of the heat. I...

    So I bought this hideous lamp thing for my husband on our first Christmas when we were completely broke. He loves it. Now, 10 years later, I would like to surprise him by rewiring it. I thought it would be as simple as a lamp kit, but I think it may be more complicated. I am a seasoned DIYer...

    I would like to connect this lighting fixture to a plug. I have a plug switch and wire setup (SPT-1 wire and polarized plug 18AWG). Is it possible to connect it to the lighting fixture, and if so is there a way around the black and white wire need to be? Thank you in advance for your help.

    Thanks in advance. I'm just trying to wire a table lamp with multiple bulbs and I have a few questions. I've wired chandeliers several times but I always clustered the wires - this won't work on this lamp. I've attached a diagram. I believe I've drawn a parallel circuit but not sure. Couple...

    Hi all! So, this might be a bit complicated for a first attempt lamp building, but I'd really love to try to replicate (or come close to) this awesome Edison bulb lamp I saw on Etsy (for my own use - not to sell) https://www.etsy.com/listing/4895851...able-lamp-desk. I've been doing some...

    Hi all, I wanted to brighten up my relatively dim bathroom and thought to put up a vanity light bar. That particular vanity bar is meant to be hard-wired, but I don't have the tools, knowledge, or permission (I'm a renter) to do that. So I thought it would be easier to buy a lamp cord with a...

    One of my desk lamps took a dive off of a set of shelves in to a pile of dirty laundry today. When it landed, the light went out. Upon further inspection, i discovered that the light bulb wasnt broken, and that the two plastic pieces of the socket that were supposed to be screwed together were...

    I'm attempting to build a custom lamp out of a mini beer keg, in it I want to incorporate a 5V USB charger and a 120V AC port. I also want to incorporate an inline fuse to protect any electronics attached. What fuse should I use for this application? I would prefer a blade type fuse if possible...

    Hi, a little background: I live in a very old house. I rent, so I pretty much have to deal with what I've got unless something is demonstrably broken. I live on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the building; another tenant lives on the 1st floor. The original wiring is Knob & Tube, but much of it has...

    Hello, I want to make a bright lamp with a glass coca cola bottle. I have a 50 watt 12v Halogen Tungsten Bulb, some wiring, a switch and 12v batteries. I've been told that Halogen bulbs generate a lot of heat and emits UV rays, so this is not such a good idea. Does anyone have any...
