    Nice video. I love the fact you show it all un edited. A shock and all. Haven't we all got shocked? That lamp was cool. I didn't know you could convert them. I was trying to figure out if someone made an actual dimmer switch like you would have on a living room wall.
    Oh, not to be picky but I noticed the top of your nightstand. Google this easy fix. 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1/4 cup white vinegar. Mix it up. Grab a rag and wipe the top of that wood surface. Let it set a minute and rub it off. The entire top is now one even blend and looks awesome! I refinished two stands for my bedroom without the hassle of sanding or stripping them down, refinishing them, etc etc. Someone told me and I googled it to see before and after photo's of how that re-conditioner worked on wood. WOW. Impressive. It's just your grandma's old recipe of keeping furniture polished.

      @@ElectroBotVideo any time you get yourself between hot and ground you could get shocked, I don't see how you'd be more likely to do that by switching the neutral in this case. Yes it is convention to switch the hot, but that's really only to limit the portion of the circuit that is energized when the device is switched off. In this case, it really doesn't matter much, all the energized parts are contained in the base of the lamp, no big deal either way, just don't go sticking your fingers inside the bulb socket.
