This is exactly what I was looking for to install in a lamp I custom made for my wife's desk. The lamp is made from oak and walnut and the design is unlike anything I've seen before and I didn't want to include a socket that didn't complement the lamp so I went with this particular model/style. And the design of the lamp required me to hide the power line inside where the switch could never be, including the socket area. I need to install this vessel on the base which is the end result. The picture only shows the hand and globe as I haven't gotten to the base yet.
