Without a source of light, the lamp becomes just another dust collecting nick-knack perched on the table top or night stand. With a little filament and electricity, blam-o! We have light. So then the questions is "Should I Use An A19 or a E26 Bulb on My Vintage Lamp?" </p><p>Answer: Why not? </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.bplampsupply.com/images/products/bg/47260.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="260" height="380" src="https://www.bplampsupply.com/images/products/bg/47260.jpg" width="260" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">47260 - LED Vintage Style Light Bulb, A19, Medium Size (E26) w/Loop Filament</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>The problem is the question. The A19 and E26 are unrelated and describe different aspects of the bulb. The A stands for Arbitrary and the 19 is the measurement in 1/8th of an inch. A19 equals and Arbitrary shape with 19/8th or 2 3/8th (2.375 inches) in diameter. What comes after A? </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.lightopedia.com/static/frontend/images/tools/bulb-shapes-and-sizes.gif" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="575" height="800" src="https://www.lightopedia.com/static/frontend/images/tools/bulb-shapes-and-sizes.gif" width="575" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Source: https://www.lightopedia.com/static/frontend/images/tools/bulb-shapes-and-sizes.gif</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Thanks for the great infographic <a href="https://www.lightopedia.com/static/frontend/images/tools/bulb-shapes-and-sizes.gif" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LightOPedia</a>.

Even Thomas Edison, when asked about the bulb, at one point said "A". </p><p>Notice in this chart, there is no E Series. The E of the "E26" in the light bulb description stands for Edison and the 26 is the measurement in millimeters. E26 equals Edison style (screw type base) with 26 millimeters width (about 1 inch). </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggU7l48HIsQNvlW94X4em5lAjCGIVTvfEfoEUcgGcRuFcHWqZxjWg6zeaM5pn0kN0CoOAjTAQxyzYDAbcCfORpbsqf5sHqn8EKLjMLsS_-ZVlf-6xLYJZgqBQ2SlueTjCj8kYJb_BrR9o/s400/Bulbshapsandsocketsize.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="289" data-original-width="400" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggU7l48HIsQNvlW94X4em5lAjCGIVTvfEfoEUcgGcRuFcHWqZxjWg6zeaM5pn0kN0CoOAjTAQxyzYDAbcCfORpbsqf5sHqn8EKLjMLsS_-ZVlf-6xLYJZgqBQ2SlueTjCj8kYJb_BrR9o/w399-h288/Bulbshapsandsocketsize.jpg" width="399" /></a></div><br /><p>The E26 socket is the most common size <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/lamp-socket-cord-and-wire/lamp-sockets-light-sockets">lamp socket</a> in North America for table lamps, ceiling fixtures, bathroom lights, hallway lights, and many other applications.

Perhaps they were commissioned for a specific design or maybe they were making shades for a production of lighting. Either way, one questions remained: fitment. How was this designed shade going to fit on a lamp fixture? </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/media/wysiwyg/Lamp-part-index-images/PanLightFixture_t.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pan Light Fixture Drawing" border="0" data-original-height="198" data-original-width="198" height="263" src="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/media/wysiwyg/Lamp-part-index-images/PanLightFixture_t.jpg" title="Pan Light Fixture Drawing" width="263" /></a></div><br /><p>Fortunately some standardized sizes were adopted by the lighting industry and they are still in use today. Traditionally shades were mounted to a fixture with a lipped edge (Figure 2).

They offer bright light in compact units. Most <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/lamp-socket-cord-and-wire/lamp-sockets-light-sockets/halogen-sockets-bulbs-parts" target="_blank">halogen lighting</a> is for specialty purposes: track lighting, under cabinet lighting, and security lights. Because they are not in most common applications, they seem to be a little more challenging to trouble shoot.<br />
<br />
For this post, we will discuss the <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/halogen-lamp-electronic-dimmable-transformer.html" target="_blank">dimmable transformers</a> used in halogen lighting. These are mostly found in under-cabinet applications. The transformer is used to convert the 110 Volt alternating current (the power supply to most North American home wiring) to a 12 volt direct current. The 12 volts applications carry fewer amps and allow smaller wires from bulb to bulb. These smaller wires are easier to manage and conceal in tight spaces.<br />
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/media/catalog/product/cache/174e437fc5a2fc2c5de9377d1964767e/4/8/48468transfomer_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Halogen Lamp Electronic Dimmable Transformer" border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="700" height="320" src="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/media/catalog/product/cache/174e437fc5a2fc2c5de9377d1964767e/4/8/48468transfomer_5.jpg" title="48468-Halogen Lamp Electronic Dimmable Transformer" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">48468 - Halogen Lamp Electronic Dimmable Transformer</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
To connect the transformer to the home power supply, connect the black and white wires to the house wires. Most house wires are also black and white. The black wire is the hot and the white wire is the neutral wire. If you are planning to plug this transformer into an outlet and connect it to a cord set (with plug), you will need to connect the black wire to the smooth cord that plugs into the thin blade of the outlet.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
From the transformer, there is also a pair of red wires. They will carry the 12 volts to power the halogen bulbs. While the 12 volt DC current has a plus and minus side, the halogen bulbs to not have to tie to a certain side. (NOTE: If you are using this transformer to power 12 volt LED bulbs, you will need to keep the positive and negative sides consistent.) Also, remember the halogen bulbs must be rated for 12 volt circuit.<br />

<br />
Most of these applications will have more than one bulb on the transformer, so you will need to keep the circuit organized where the + is on one side and the - is on the other.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Transformer -/+ bulb -/+ bulb -/+ bulb -/+ bulb -/+ bulb</b></h3>
<h3>
<b><span style="color: red;">Not</span>: Transformer -/+ bulb -/+ bulb <span style="color: red;">+/-</span> bulb -/+ bulb -/+ bulb</b></h3>
With all the wires in place and transformer connected, you are ready to power the circuit and test the lamps. If you want to add a dimmer, that would be included at the wall switch or inline switch on the 110 volt side of the transformer.<br />

Now that you have identified the cord type, select your corresponding plug or outlet style and color. The basic colors offered are black, white, brown, ivory, clear gold, and clear silver. These colors correspond with typical lamp cord colors.<br />
<br />
With the cord identified and the corresponding snap plug acquired, you are ready to connect the two together. For the slide on plugs and outlets, remove the back part of the plug:<br />

Notice the piercing blade in the outlet: one for each cord. The piercing blade corresponds to the prong on the plug and the polarity of the plug and wire. On the wire when you identified the SPT size, you will notice one wire is ribbed and the other wire is smooth. The <b>smooth wire</b> is the hot side and should align with the piercing blade for the <b>thin prong</b> on the plug. The end of the wire should be placed in the end of the plug and laid across the piercing blades.<br />

For snap on plugs, the procedure is similar. First, you will need to separate the interior of the plug from the shell. Spread the prong of the plug all the way apart.<br />

Identify the smooth wire and corresponding piercing blade. These piercing blades are located inside the interior of the plug. Slide the cord in through the plug cap and then into the interior of the plug.<br />

Push the plug prong together and push the interior back into the plug shell. The interior should sit completely back in the shell and be flush in the front.<br />

Now you have it. While there are other types of plugs with screw terminals, the basics are the same: know the type of cord you are working with to make sure it is compatible, identify the smooth or hot wire and connect the hot side to the thin plug prong.Michael Barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00242057959796130818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996493646853519059.post-34083352454346286592019-08-27T12:00:00.002-07:002019-08-27T14:17:54.675-07:00Light Care 101: How to Make Light Bulbs Last<br />

when it comes to lamp bulbs. They are the most energy-efficient and can be
found in different shapes. These bulbs use much less electricity than
incandescent and even last much longer. However, they incline to emanate cold
light, similar to halogens. This makes CFLs more appropriate in shaded areas.
Furthermore, they contain mercury, which means they must be handled with
extreme caution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Learning how to take care of
your lamps not only prevents frequent trips to the hardware store, it is also
an effective way to avoid unnecessary inconvenience and safety hazards.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Don’t Touch the Light Bulb While It Is Still Hot</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Light bulbs produce heat. And the longer you leave them on, the hotter they become. Heat causes the metallic filament within the bulbs to become brittle. According to Sunrise Electrician, a trusted Tampa electrician, <a href="https://www.sunelectrician.com/blog/call-an-electrician-to-replace-light-bulb/" target="_blank">you are subjecting the thread to more vibrations when you move the lamp while it is still hot</a>. A combination of heat and vibration will surely trim a hundred hours or so from your light bulb’s lifespan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This precaution should also be applied during installation. A bulb installed in a mobile place will also become mobile. This means that those bulbs installed in hanging pendants tend to have a shorter lifespan. Same goes with the lamp inside your fridge: it shakes every time you slam the door. For this kind of application, make sure to use bulbs with reinforced filaments.</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Limit the Use of the On Button</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">If you’re leaving the room for only a brief period, it might be wiser just to leave the lights on. This is because every single time that you turn the switch on, you are subjecting the light bulbs to a blast of power. It takes faster than a blink of an eye for the current to reach the filament.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">What does this mean? It means the filament’s temperature will rise from a cozy 70°F to 3000 70°F in less than a second. If you flip the switch too often, the filament will break in no time. One of the common symptoms of a filament problem is flickering lights.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But it is essential to know that flickering lights can also be caused by a more severe problem. The most common is an overloaded circuit. Electricians advise to call them during light bulb replacement so that they can check if there are other issues within your electrical system.</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Let the Light Bulbs Run at Low Power</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Running on low power is another secret of long-life incandescent bulbs. Power equates to heat, which means less power is less heat. And less heat is equivalent to less stress on your light bulb filament.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Common houses in the country run on 110. So if you use a bulb with a 130V rating, it will operate using a power that is 15% less than it is capable of handling. You may also take advantage of dimmer switches. These devices lower the voltage that comes to the bulb, reducing their burden.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Keep in mind that the primary purpose of light bulb care is to save on resources. That being said: do you think it is more practical to extend the life of incandescent bulbs of your brass lamps by dimming and avoiding the switch button? Or is it time to move to more energy-efficient products? Take to a licensed electrician on how to make your home safer and friendlier to the environment.</span></div>

The sensor turns the whole lamp into a switch. No need to clumsily fumble around with the cord or the side of the socket to look for that menacing switch. Que the infomercial clumsy reel.<br />

I digress. The idea is really more scientific. According to Wikipedia "They act on the principle of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_capacitance" title="Body capacitance">body capacitance</a>." And body capacitance? <br />
<br />
<b>Body capacitance</b> is the physical property of the human body that has it act as a capacitor. Like any other electrically-conductive object, a human body can store electric charge if insulated.<br />
<br />
Finally, my superpower is revealed! I can turn on a lamp with the touch of my finger. Now that is cool.<br />
<br />
The uncool part is these switches have a tendency to stop working. Instead of sending the lamp to a landfill, simply <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/touch-lamp-control-switch.html" target="_blank">replace the touch sensitive switch</a>. <br />

Specifically, I mean the <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/lamp-socket-cord-and-wire/plastic-lamp-sockets" target="_blank">black plastic sockets</a> used in most household table lamps. These sockets are brittle and easily chipped and cracked. If you are like me and often shop in the closeout section or the "imperfect" type of store, you will easily find these sockets cracked, chipped, and often missing on the lamps for sale. The good news is they are really easy to fix.<br />

As this video demonstrates, there are 3 parts of the plastic socket: <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/bakelite-one-slot-socket-cap-with-1-8f-thread.html" target="_blank">cap</a> (bottom), <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/outer-threaded-bakelite-shell.html" target="_blank">shell</a> (top), and the socket interior. The shell screws on to the cap and can be replaced in a few minutes.<br />

</div>
A keyless socket interior or <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=keyless" target="_blank">keyless socket</a> is not a typical lamp socket. It doesn't have a switch function so the circuit control needs to be performed by another mechanism. The keyless socket is the true "lamp holder" with no other purpose. Keyless sockets are ideal for pendant lamps (use a switch on the wall) or chandeliers (one switch controls all the lights) and some cluster lamps.<br />

The more complicated keyless socket is a 3-way socket. Designed for 3-way bulbs, the 3-way socket has the extra contact point on the base of the socket. <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/a-21-3-way-50w-100w-150w-bulb.html" target="_blank">3-way bulbs</a> have a low, medium, and high setting from having 2 sets of filaments.<br />

For the 3-way socket to work with the 3-way bulb, you will need a <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/3-8-inch-shank-3-way-2-circuit-nickel-rotary-switch.html" target="_blank">3-way switch</a> and wire it in the correct order. Our 40402 switches are 2 circuit and will work with a 3-way interior.<br />

The switch has 4 positions and the socket has 3 screw terminals. As the diagram shows, the smooth lamp cord wire connects to the black wire of the switch. The ribbed lamp cord connects to the nickel screw terminal on the socket. The red wire is the first circuit to turn on so it connects to the brass plated screw terminal and the blue wire connects to the black screw terminal. In the 4th position of the switch, both red and blue wires are on the closed circuit and the 3-way bulb has both filaments lit.<br />

Now we can move this project to the table top and begin to remove the body pieces off the column of the chandelier. The top loop unscrews from the threaded rod. Since we are rewiring this fixture, we cut the cord at the top of the column so when the parts are removed, they do not have to go through excess wire.<br />

The rest of the column pieces slip off the threaded rod. Remember to take a picture or keep the parts in the right order for reassembly. The final piece sets just on top of the cluster.<br />

Next, we will focus on rewiring 1 arm at a time. With 6 arms, each one is wired the same way. We remove any existing wire nuts, connectors, or in this case: tape. The old candle covers slip off the old fixture sockets. Cut the wires or unscrew the screw terminals on the socket and disconnect the wire. Unscrew the socket from the threaded rod in the dish or bobesche of the chandelier. Repeat for the other chandelier arms.<br />

Pull the old wires out of the chandelier arms. If the arms are narrow or have complex bends, you can attach the new cord to the old cord. Then when you pull the old wire out, the new wire pulls in behind it. We have discussed this technique in other post of the blog. For this chandelier, the arms are straight and short. Each arm is wired with about 5 inches slack on the socket end and in the cluster.<br />

The new fixture socket screws on the thread of the arm. The wire is striped about 1/2 inch and connected to the screw terminal. The wire look similar, but there is a thin rib on one wire and the other wire is smooth. Typically in house wires there is a hot wire and a neutral wire. For lighting we want to wire the hot to hot so most often the smooth wire is designated for the hot side or the black house wire.<br />
<br />
For chandelier sockets, connect the smooth wire to the brass screw terminal. Connect the ribbed wire to the nickle screw terminal. Make sure each socket is wired the same. Replace the wire from the column or body of the chandelier making sure you leave plenty of length for the chain or any drop length. In the cluster connect the smooth wires together with the smooth wire to the canopy and the ribbed wires are all connected together.<br />

With all the sockets wired and the wires in the pan, we will add a 6th wire. This wire will connect to the canopy and the house wires. Each wire should be stripped about 1/2 inch and connected with a wire nut. The smooth wires in one connection and the ribbed wires in another connection.<br />

With all the connections complete, the wires are tucked inside the bottom pan. Join the top and bottom pans together and insert the rod on the bottom finial to hold the pans in place. The sixth wire is threaded up the top pan and through the chain and finally into the canopy.<br />

At this point you can test the lamp. Add bulbs to the sockets. Keep your distance from the sockets while you power the 6th line. Remember, the smooth wire represents the hot/black/small side of the plug on the home wires and the ribbed wire is the neutral/white/wide side of the plug. Keeping theses wires in order keeps the lamp polarized.<br />

One thing you can't pick up from the <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/" target="_blank">lamp parts</a> store is the jug or bottle. Good candidates for lamps are heavy weighted bottles with a large diameter base. These are the most stable for table lamps. This jug was brought to our shop the other day and the customer wanted a table lamp.<br />

<div>
Now we will start the 5 step process to assembling the lamp parts and putting the lamp together. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Step 1: Assemble the washer, threaded rod, and nut with the rubber adapter. </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The rubber adapter is a crucial part of this lamp. With the harp and lamp shade, there will be a lot of weight supported by this adapter. It should fit really snug in the bottle/jug. For this threaded rod, the parts will make a pattern: nut, lock washer, washer, adapter, washer...</div>

<h3>
Step 2: Fit the bottle adapter to the bottle top.</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our 1 inch diameter rubber adapter was a bit too snug, so we shaved a little off the sides to make sure we had a good fit. </div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<h3>
Step 3: Attach the seating ring, rubber washer, harp saddle and socket cap.</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The seating ring serves 2 purposes: first, to cover the top of the bottle and look good, second, it acts as a top plate to squeeze the rubber adapter for an even tighter fit. The lock washer goes between the seating ring and the harp saddle. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Note:</b> For this lamp, we orientate the harp saddle from left to right and the side outlet in the socket cap is in the back of the lamp. </div>
<div>

<h3>
Step 4: Wire the socket. </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Push the ends of the lamp cord through the side outlet on the socket cap. Tie a UL Knot in the lamp cord. Attach the cord to the socket interior. The smooth wire connects to the brass screw and the ribbed wire connects to the nickle screw. Pull any slack out of the lamp cord back out the socket cap and press the socket shell over the socket interior and lock in the tabs on the socket cap. Make sure there is a tight fit between the socket cap and shell. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Note:</b> The socket turn knob is orientated in the middle of the harp saddle and in the front of the lamp. </div>

They combined a central draft wick burner with a mantle cap to make an exceptionally bright light. Then they combined the innovative lighting with the design of period inspired colors and styles; calling each lamp a "model". Collectors and enthusiast couldn't get enough.<br />

But with all the complex and ornate details of Aladdin, there is one thing that is simple: the <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/catalogsearch/result/?brand=299&q=Aladdin+chimney" target="_blank">chimney</a>.<br />

When it comes to Aladdin chimneys, there are only 2 choices for after 100 years: Heelless or Lox-on. And if that is not simple enough, you don't get to choose the chimney you want. It depends on the lamp's gallery and the chimney it requires. To demonstrate, we have prepared a short video:<br />

The old shade was cracked and faded. This lamp came from a big box store. Specifically, this lamp came from a Swedish furniture store; if you get the IDEA. The shade was worn out and the inside liner was busted. The customer thought the size and shape was still good so they only wanted to replace the shade.<br />
<br />
After a quick inspection of the lamp, we determined the socket, cord, switch and other general <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/" target="_blank">lamp parts</a> were in good working order. The shade on the lamp had arms from the top of the shade to a ring in the middle. The ring fit over the shell of the socket and was held in place with a retention ring.<br />
<br />
Since this lamp maker served the European market, we needed a harp saddle to fit where that shade's ring connected to the socket. <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/" target="_blank">Antique Lamp Supply</a> offers a <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/harp-base-for-gu24-and-nord-sockets.html" target="_blank">harp saddle designed to fit on Nord and GU24 sockets</a> with retention rings.<br />

We really take these things for granted though every ceiling fixture needs one. When you purchase a fixture from a store, the cross bar is included. If you grab a fixture from a garage sale, second hand shop, or online where the condition isn't "new", the crossbar is no guarantee.<br />
<br />
Luckily, we now have the internet with an endless supply of niche shops offering specialty items to keep those antiques, vintage, and second hand items in top shape. Antique Lamp Supply offers most <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/lamp-parts/crossbars-hickeys" target="_blank">types of common crossbars</a> on the market.

So with a few lamp parts, Santa will be back in service and ready to spread Christmas cheer. We'll start by making a list, then check it twice. Santa Clause is coming to town!<br />
<br />
For the socket, we'll use a <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/med-base-lamp-socket-with-side-mounted-bracket-screw-terminals.html" target="_blank">medium base with side mounted bracket</a>.<br />

Remember, the shade edge is slightly smaller than the shade holder so they will fit together.Michael Barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00242057959796130818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996493646853519059.post-52703624648756124822018-08-31T07:04:00.002-07:002018-08-31T11:31:30.956-07:00Can you use a standard bulb in a 3-way socket? Most sockets require you to have a matching bulb. A mogul socket would require a mogul bulb and a <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=GU-24" target="_blank">GU-24 socket</a> requires a GU-24 bulb. 3-Way sockets do not have the same requirement. I would say that most 3-way sockets probably don't have 3-way bulbs in them because they can operate a standard light bulb.<br />
<br />
<h3>
How can you tell if the socket is 3-way?</h3>
<br />
You can look inside the socket for the second bulb contact.<br />

Without removing the bulb, you can tell a three way just by turning the knob as demonstrated in this video:<br />

3-Way bulbs aren't for everyone.

We start by disassembling the lamp. Remove the harp by pulling up on the locking couplings and squeezing the harp toward the socket.<br />

With <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/electric-lamp-adapters/specialty" target="_blank">specialty lamp adapters</a>, a lamp can be changed over to an electric burner in minutes. In 5 simple steps the lamp can be converted.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Step 1: Identify the type of lamp you have.</h3>
There are many types of oil lamps out there: <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/electric-lamp-adapters/antique-style-electrified-burners" target="_blank">#2 burners</a>, <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=duplex" target="_blank">duplex</a>, <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/all-oil-lamp-parts/lamp-parts-designed-to-fit-aladdin-brand-lamps" target="_blank">Aladdin</a>, <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/electric-lamp-adapters/antique-style-electrified-burners" target="_blank">Central Draft</a>. After you have identified your oil lamp burner, you are able to pick an adapter to fit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6gfkS178VbPU2NBRP3PuxOdTcaNVO-UHRzNGG8zh_wBiixmDJmwEqWXbVAGHyFmy2JNXaGS9Vg8kUV0h1FL7r_StK6FqG6X4Li7AX7mAw6OuvAtHbULJw6jCEhMZ2UQuawS-WFpAEz0/s1600/20180514_103351.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6gfkS178VbPU2NBRP3PuxOdTcaNVO-UHRzNGG8zh_wBiixmDJmwEqWXbVAGHyFmy2JNXaGS9Vg8kUV0h1FL7r_StK6FqG6X4Li7AX7mAw6OuvAtHbULJw6jCEhMZ2UQuawS-WFpAEz0/s400/20180514_103351.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Step 2: Decide on type of shade or no shade.</h3>
These electric adapters can be simple and hold a chimney, or they have other options with shade rings and harps for fabric shade. Before you convert to electric, you need to decide what the final product will look like and get the right adapter for that style.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Step 3: Unscrew and clean the oil lamp</h3>
An antique kerosene lamp might have months, years, or decades of kerosene on the lamp. This is a good time to clean the lamp. Wash it out with some clean water and let it completely dry.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Step 4: Install the new adapter</h3>
Installing the new adapter is as easy as replacing a light bulb. It literally screws in the lamp collar. If you followed step 1, this step is a breeze.<br />

This is a common repair for any lamp. If you found a lamp at a yard sale, flea market, or online and it needed some basic repair, these are the steps to take.<br />
<br />
First, always give the lamp a general inspection. This will help you prepare a list of needed parts. We like to only replace bad, worn out parts. Safety is also an issue. Loose hardware and non-polarized plugs should be addressed as part of any repair.<br />

Our initial inspection determined the only problem with the lamp was the pull chain socket. The lamp cord and bulb were in good working order. The only <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/" target="_blank">lamp part</a> we'll need for this repair is a new pull chain socket interior.<br />

Specialty lamp shops like <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/" target="_blank">Antique Lamp Supply</a>, offer diffusers in several sizes. We currently offer sizes <a href="https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/fabric-lampshade-diffuser.html" target="_blank">from 7 1/2 inch to 17 1/2 inch</a>.<br />

Each diffuser is made from 1/8 inch thick translucent white acrylic and has a 3/8 inch center hole for mounting the diffuser to the shade. Installation is as easy as 1, 2, 3.<br />
<br />
Step 1: Identify the lamp needing a diffuser.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Step 2: Unscrew the lamp finial from the harp or threaded rod.<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 3: Place the diffuser flat against the top of the shade and screw the finial back on the threaded rod or the top of the harp.<br />

In addition to table lamps and floor lamps, diffusers can be used for sleek and clean Mid-Century style pendant lamps. Especially pendant lamps with drum style shades. Like the table lamps and floor lamps, the intention is to spread the light from the bulb.<br />

To disassemble this lamp, we will need to remove the socket. This lamp has an unusual socket, there is no cap or shell. It has a hickey on the bottom inside the gallery. You will first need to unscrew the key from the socket. Then, you will unscrew the hickey from the socket interior. A small flat head screw inside the socket connects to the hickey.<br />

Untangle the wire to remove from the bottom light wire. Using the new lamp cord, twist the bottom light wire to the new lamp cord. The cords should match: smooth wire together and ribbed wire together. If the bottom light has a black and white wire, the smooth wire connects to the black wire and the ribbed wire connects to the white wire of the bottom light. With the wires connected, push them up the lamp rod to the top socket.<br />

Connect the lamp cord to the new socket interior. Since we have a 3-way socket, the smooth wires each have a screw terminal. The smooth wire from the plug attaches to the brass plated screw terminal. The smooth wire from the bottom light connects to the black screw terminal. Both ribbed wires connect to the nickel screw terminal.<br />

In some cases (like this one), you can get lucky and use the old hickey on the new socket. For this lamp, we removed the hickey off the new socket and used the original hickey on the lamp and the flat head screw from the socket. Just be sure to pull wires down the lamp to avoid excess slack around the socket. Slip the new insulator over the socket and screw on the old lamp key.<br />

If the bottom light was removed for this installation, simply snap it back in place. If the bottom light needed to be replaced, now would be the right time with the cord replacement.<br />
