Stumbled on your site after loading my amazon cart with a new lamp, so ordered parts you suggested instead and gave it a go. Even though our socket was a different type (no exposed screws), we were able to manage with your video assistance. Thank you so much for patiently explaining what to do. We will certainly be exploring your other content. Well done, Sir!
@@AntoinetteLau thank you and that is very kind of you to leave a positive comment. Small channels like ours live on people leaving comments as it get the video more exposure with the TH-cam engine. Again appreciate you
Thank you for uploading this. I managed to fix my lamp after learning from your video. I am total novice, but managed to remove the old socket and put in a new one .
Did I see 250V on the interior of the replacement socket? Have you Texans seceded from the US Grid? I like your close-up shots mate; I wish I could get my camera to behave as nicely! Cheers Harki.
@@DonaRodgers feel both the wires, one will have a smooth casing and the other will be ribbed, meaning it will not be smooth. The Hot side of the insulating cover is smooth and the Neutral is ribbed. That’s usually how I can tell but please do not take my word for it I am not a professional electrician. Should consult an electrician if not sure.
If you are replacing then you can tag them before taking off the wires. The screws have different colors. Or you will notice if you feel the wires that one of them is rubbed and the other is smooth. The smooth wire is hot and the ribbed is neutral. Best to google it based on the wires you have.
Fine if you and your lamp are in the United States. butr not suitable for elsewhere. The same goes for new lampshades. I wished to buy three new shades for table lamps. I was unable to determine from the illustrations just how the shade was suppotrterd from the ,lam holder, so I did not buy.

@@LonghornWorkshop Your Welcome!
Thanks! I was able to fix my lamp with the help of your video!
@@pianousa that’s great, appreciate the feedback
Nice video I didn't know how connect a wire into the Socket
Harki, I find the UK ones are more easier to wire than the US ones. a pretty good and easy job though 👍
Yeah they can make this a lot easier for lamp sockets. The lamp socket in the US has not really evolved much …lol

Thanks Mark, I just use a iPhone and works good.
what if both wires are copper colored? how can I tell between hot and neutral? The original socket is old and was not clear which wire was which

It is funny how many things are standardized that you don't realise!
You are absolutely correct on that. It actually is amazing what things are standardized that you you didn’t even know.
