DIY Lamp Wiring Kit, Antique Brass Socket & 8FT Brown Cord (1 Pack), for Making & Fixing Table or Floor Lamps, Repair & Rewire Vintage Lighting Fixtures, Complete Hardware Set

I'd call myself a wiring beginner but when my favorite antique lamp started acting "off" I knew it was time to rewire. The hardware matched perfectly to the actual antique metal hardware that stayed on my lamp. I only used the socket and wire from this kit but the instructions were amazing and helped me replace the parts that needed to be replaced. I followed the directions, and the lamp works like it's brand new. This kit was a great value. **Edit to add** since writing this, I have rewired two more antique lamps after purchasing the same kit. It's so simple to fix and I feel much more safe with updated wiring.

Have purchased this twice to fix my lamps- love it! Easy to use, great instructions!

This was a great resource for me when constructing a lamp out of an old liquor bottle whose shape was appropriate (disclaimer: always use hand and eye protection when working with products like this). This was a great, easy-to-use kit that had everything I needed to build my lamp. One thing that was missing (and the reason for its 4-star review) was the harp for the lampshade. So, if you plan on building a lamp that will require a shade that uses a harp, you'll need to pick one of those up, as well (also note that this kit has an antiqued finish, so look for a matching harp if such aesthetics are important to you). This was a great kit, and will work even for beginning DIY'ers. Definitely recommended.

I inherited my grandmother’s house and all her possessions. In digging through the attic I found this cypress knee lamp my great great uncle had made in 1957. Being that it had been in the attic for 42 Texas summers, I decided instead of plugging in I would just buy a new wiring kit for it. I’ve never wired a lamp before but this kit made it super easy! Since the old wiring was so brittle and falling apart I just cut the wires and pulled it all out. I followed the directions provided, and sure enough, it works great! Got a GE LED 60 watt bulb in it, which looks similar to an Edison bulb, and bought a new lamp shade from Lowe’s and it turned out beautiful!It’s been working great for a couple of months with no issues

I had purchased this lamp in a second hand shop 13 years ago. I love the old bedside lamp but it needed a bit of antiquing. The switch had been moved to the cord. I was able to put the switch back up under the bulb where it needed to be and give the old dear a sweet face lift. She looks marvelous now and it was so easy to do. Thank you!

I ordered an antique lamp on EBay. The seller did not disclose that the socket was so bent as to be almost unusable. I also wanted a longer electrical wire, so I bought this. It was my first time rewiring a lamp, and it went smoothly. My lamp is now beautiful and functional.

Well I failed the first few times -user error- because I kept forgetting to set up the bottom portion first and work my way up. Every time I thought I had it I realized I had made another mistake. After the third try, after I took everything apart all over again, try number four hit the mark!It was easy enough to figure out without instructions. The picture was the most useful. I’d never wired a lamp before so this was an awesome new experience for me. I did some research on my own, ordered what I thought I needed, & then trial and error for me there. Don’t get me wrong. I made it a functioning working light 💡 on the first try, but since I kept forgetting pieces that had to go in first before the pipe, it wouldn’t stay up. Each time I realized what I’d done wrong the time before. It became an excellent learning experience & great reinforcement of what I’d learned by the repetition of the same steps several times.I’m now fully confident that I could easily go fix any desk lamp & maybe even standing lamps as well.Really happy with this & so glad it all worked out. I restore antiques for a living, & this will be quite a nice skill to add to my toolbox.

Does not come with a standard on/off switch per item description. It comes with a dimmer switch which does not work with "smart" lightbulbs...this was the whole reason I wanted to rewire my lamp. HOWEVER, it is a quality product, super easy to install (like 5 min) and did help upgrade my very old lamp cord so much safer now.
