    Trimming a Fixture Dimmer?

    Hello! I design and build lamps, which has been a simple task so far, but I've decided to dip my toe into the dubious world of 120v LED PCBs for slimmer designs. I'm working on a lamp right now that would utilize three ~4" 120v LED PCBs that are originally designed as ceiling lamp/fan retrofit...

    Can I use a dimmable LED bulb in this table lamp?

    We have just bought this dimmable (three-stage) lamp. The descriptions states: "Bulbs required 1 x golfball SES small edison eco halogen bulb" Do you think it has to be an E14 dimmable "eco halogen" bulb? Or do you think I can I get an E14 dimmable LED bulb?

    Extending table lamp flex

    I have a table lamp fitted with 2 core 0.75mm flex. I wish to extend the length of the cable but only have 2 core 1.5mm flex to hand. Can I use this, or must the flex be the same diameter both sides of the join. Sorry if this is a ridiculous question. Thank you for your advice.

    12 volt metal table lamp for sale.

    Hi all. I am planning a metal table lamp. The light will be a 12 volt LED fed from a plug in transformer, so there will not be any 240 volt cable or connection to the table lamp. Do I need to earth the metal of the table lamp?

    Hi All, the story so far : Customer has asked me to make her old brass table lamp work. How hard could it be? No earth, so first step was some new 3 core flex and a brass lamp holder that's got an earth point. An inline switch and I'm away. But no, the new flex won't fit up the stem of the lamp...

    Rewire a table lamp - any help appreciated!

    Hi, I have a table lamp that I love but it only allows bulbs up to 50 watt although the shade is large and open so not really a fire hazard.

    Table Lamp - No markings with no earth
