Rewiring a floor lamp

[cameronmspence]

Hey guys, so I knocked over my floor lamp and the bulb and wiring seperated. There appears to be no severe damage and need help reassembling it. Does anyone know what wires should go where? Really appreciate all the help I can get.

Have you a continty tester for the lamp holder?

No I am afraid not

It is not likely the lamp holder is polarity biased so it shouldn't matter how they are connected.

Amazing so really simple and novice question but what slot do I fee the wires through to allow the bulb to receive electricity?

It looks like an ES holder, so the live should be to the centre pin (the copper tab going to near centre). Not that the rear appears to have any makings to match!

That lamp holder is actually broken where it clips together, it needs replacing or it will just keep coming apart.
