    Using lamp posts to charge EV’s

    Heres one to consider, the apparent government solution to charging EV vehicles for people without a driveway is to install a dual 16A charger on each street lamp post this will also remove the requirement or temptation to trail charging leads across the pavement and walkways from peoples homes...

    Wiring Table Lamp - US

    Hi All, I'm designing my own table lamp but having issues with the wiring. The lamp consists of an E17 socket, a two position toggle and a two prong whip (see diagram). I've mocked up the wiring as noted in the diagram but it trips the surge protector and I'm trying to understand where I've...

    Broken lamp!

    Unfortunately my son pulled this lamp over today and it snapped the fitting off. Oops! It looks like it may snap back on but I’m not certain which way to put it. I’m hoping someone on here will know so I can give it a go. I guess I only need to know if the blue wire goes underneath the pin that...

    Old lamp, no earth.

    Hi all. A friend has asked me to look at this old lamp. It's of metal construction. Currently 2 core cable. I'm thinking rewire the 2 core with 3 and earth it to the brass screw that goes into the body. I did think putting on a transformer, but it seems cheaper to get 230v bulbs. Any other...

    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to put a 422mm T2 pushfit lamp into a socket made for a 458mm lamp? The lamps aren't available so I wondered if there was such a thing as a lamp extension.

    Hi, I'll start by saying I'm not an electrician (I'm more of a mechanic), but I like to have a go at wiring on occasion. I'm wanting to make a one-off table lamp from an old defunct machine I have, so I purchased some 3 core cable, a UK plug with fuse, an E27 bulb and a 'vintage look' metal...

    UK Earthing a vintage brass lamp to the lamp base

    I have a couple of old metal/brass lamps to which adding an earthed lampholder would be tricky (either the entry for 3 wires is VERY small or the lamp holder is integral to the lamp and is original). All of these lamps have a screw within the base which appear to be for an earth wire - is this...
