The key to fixing a loose lamp socket on a table lamp often involves tightening the socket components.
Here's how to address a loose lamp socket on a table lamp, based on available information:
-
Tighten the Socket Base: The video referenced suggests that the socket base (the part that screws onto the lamp harp or body) is often the culprit. You'll want to turn it until it's firmly in place and no longer moving. This secures the entire socket assembly.
-
Tighten the Shade Lock Nut: If the lampshade is also wobbly, the shade lock nut, which holds the shade in place, may need tightening. Ensure this nut is snug against the lampshade to prevent movement.
Essentially, the approach involves identifying the source of the looseness (usually the base or the shade lock nut) and then carefully tightening the components until they are secure. It's crucial to handle electrical components with care; if you're unsure about any step, consult a qualified electrician.
