What base requirements are needed to convert a container into a table lamp?
Lamp bases must be hollow inside so you can access and secure internal electrical components. The fabric cable will also need an exit hole near the bottom of the base.
Components for lamp bases.
How do you route a cable if the lamp base has no exit hole?
If your lamp base does not have a side cable exit hole, you can install table lamp base feet to elevate the base and allow the flex to exit underneath cleanly.
What hole size is required in the top of a lamp base?
Our components are 10mm (M10) thread compatible. The top opening of the lamp base requires a 10mm hole. If the hole is larger, you can resolve this by using a reducing washer.
What hardware is required to mount a lamp holder to a lamp base?
You will need a lamp holder, M10 all-thread rod (long enough to pass through your base), a 10mm nut, and sometimes a washer to clamp it firmly in place.
Where can an ON/OFF switch be installed on a table lamp?
You can choose a lamp holder with an integrated switch or fit an in-line switch directly onto the fabric cable.
How do I make sure my lamp holder can hold a lampshade?
Ensure your lamp holder features removable shade rings that match the collar size of your shade. See this guide for detailed instructions.
How can I raise the lamp holder height on a custom lamp base?
Use metal extension tubes to raise the lamp holder to your desired height above the base.
Are pre-assembled table lamp cable sets available?
Pre-assembled table lamp wirings with a pre-wired switch and plug can be purchased ready for installation.
What loose components are required to custom-wire a table lamp?
Or purchase all individual parts for your electrician to assemble through your lamp base: fabric cable, plug, switch, lamp holder, M10 all-thread rod, nut, and washer.
