The only thing I will use in the future to fix the lamp.

Extremely high quality as before. Heavy, solid etc. I used this to completely rebuild/repair an almost 40 year old handmade shell lamp that belonged to my mother. It was of better quality than what was originally used.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive

Looks amazing

This cartridge looks great on my antique lamp. While it works great, the grip feels very stable with no slipping or faint clicking. When assembling it I noticed that the internals look a bit cheap so I'm hoping it will last a lot longer than the $3 version as I paid a pretty good price for it.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Great 3 position switch! Save your lamp!

This brass socket literally saved my favorite leather lamp! Easy to install (I watched the YouTube video first). I am a 68 year old female and have never done this. It was very easy to install. Good quality. There's nothing cheap about it! The perfect three-position switch made of brass! Good product! Works great and looks just like the original, only better!

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
