I’m so glad I looked up how to fix the problem before throwing out my lamp this was 100% easier than expected

Thank you, you made this very easy to follow. Because your instructions were clear and concise I had the confidence to fix my lamp switch!! Thank you again.

This was so helpful! I realized I actually just had the wrong kind of bulb and not a broken lamp! Thanks for the great explanation of the different switches.

Ah, we're on the same page. I always take a picture of everything before I start working on it. I have so many projects/ restorations going at once, some that span over months, even years. Those pictures are worth more than gold.
Also, thanks, never dabbled in lamps before, but I needed some know how for one I got.

my wife was about to throw our lamps away for this very reason, i am so glad i found your video, thank you, i love our lamps and wanted to fix them.

Bring incandescent lighting! Less harmful on your eyes. Such better lighting.

[JohnBelmont]

Thanks for this! Like many others who have commented, I'm grateful for your video so that I too did not have to throw out my lamp. Be well!

Perfect! Now I don't need to spend money on a repair of two of my lamps :0) Thank you!

This is lovely, but it seems my Target brand lamp was designed to be impossible to repair - I had to cut the wires free and they seem impossible to strip 😭

This guy is clever. Love the subtle jokes. :)

Thanks, you're smart, and I appreciate you sharing your understanding.

What if you mixed your wires and don't remember which wire goes to which screw? Asking for a friend

[midtwilightblue]

What about lamp sockets that don’t have the screws for the wires to connect to? I had to do half turns for my lamp to turn on (it’s a three way) and now it won’t do anything (yes, tried multiple new and knowingly working bulbs)

[richard]

which wire goes to the brass side ribbed or plane ? this is the most important part of the whole thing geez

[tekman]

Thanks! I've been wondering about this for years.

[rsharif]

This was amazing. Really appreciate your effort and help thanks

Thank you for this video ...

But before I went to those extremes ... I changed the lightbulb. :)
