LAMP SHADES, LAMPS, LAMP REPAIR, SHADE REPAIR - WORLDWIDE | How To Repair A Table Lamp or Floor Lamp article by Jim Hoyle
How To Repair A Table Lamp or Floor Lamp ? The internet is loaded with all kinds of instructions, even videos on how to repair a lamp. Sorry for any disappointment but if you had seen even a small portion of the "do it yourself" nightmares that we have received in our lamp shop since 1979, you would understand how I feel. We strongly suggest that YOU DO NOT DO LAMP REPAIR YOURSELF unless you are experienced and qualified. If you are qualified and experienced then no further instructions should be necessary.
There are just too many variables and too much to risk. Today there are many new socket configurations and many electrical cord types among numerous other issues to take into account. You cannot simply connect an electrical cord to two socket screws and expect it to be safe. It simply makes more sense to have this type of repair done at a professional lamp shop that specializes in lamp repairs.
Lamp repair companies that we are familiar with do repairs at a very nominal charge and consider lamp repairs almost as a loss leader service just to get people in their store. You will likely find that a lamp repair shop will do the work for less than what it costs you in travel expenses and for parts.
We sell lamp parts in our brick and mortar store and it is very common to see a customer return 2-3 times to get an additional lamp part that they later determined was necessary to complete their lamp repair. By the time they completed the repair they could have paid us to repair several lamps.
