Power Gear Lamp Socket with Push ON/Off, Medium Base, for Floor and Table Lamps, DIY Project, UL Listed, Brushed Gold, 52205

The socket replaced a decades old one that had failed. No problems!

This is a standard U.S. lamp socket with a pushable on/off switch. I used it to replace a similar socket on my gooseneck lamp that had a turn switch. I find the push switch easier to use. This switch makes a fairly loud click sound when it’s pushed. It’s definitely not a silent switch.I found installation to be easy. You just need to remember, or better yet to mark, which cord goes to the gold screw and which goes to the silver screw. I used a black marker to mark the cord to the gold screw and used my iPhone to take photos before I disassembled it. Also, on my lamp I had to reuse the original socket shell because of how it screwed into the lamp head. Then I had to use a tin snips tool to cut out a hole on the other side of the reused shell for the switch to pass through. In total, it took me 20 minutes to complete the whole task. I’m an old lady - if I can do it, you can, too. Very happy with the result. Very happy with the price including home delivery.There are YouTube videos that show the whole process (except the snip part). Snips tools (they’re a heavy duty scissors that will cut metal) are handy to have around your home and cost around $15 at Home Depot or maybe here on Amazon. For those reviewers who complained about the cardboard insulation, I’d like to point out that cardboard insulation has been the standard for many years for this type of electrical device. Cardboard is inexpensive and does the job safely. My gooseneck lamp is 40 yrs old and it had cardboard insulation in the original shell.

Very good!

We used to order lamp parts from industrial suppliers in the US for our business. This became excessively burdened with extra charges for shipping and duties and brokerage, etc and finally our suppliers in the US -- primarily in southern states like Texas -- decided not to ship to Canada, possibly for political reasons, it's hard to know. These lamp parts are not of the highest manufactured quality, lacking solidity and weight and life-time dependability. Neither, however, are they of poor quality, otherwise we wouldn't use them at all, having very close and good relationships with our customers. These lamp parts do the job, and will continue to be used by us until even better ones are available again.

works and easy to install
