New Lamp Switch - pinion - 04-30-2013
I have a lamp that takes one of the smaller candelabra bulbs. I think it's E12? The problem is it has the switch on the power cord which is impossible to get to where I want to have the lamp at. Does anyone know how I can get a replacement bulb holder with a switch on it? Preferably something that would just screw in to the current bulb holder and have a switch on it. I'd rather not tear this thing apart.

Would a Foot switch work?
Re: New Lamp Switch - pinion - 04-30-2013
It would work but it's not really what I would want. Thanks though. I'll probably just leave it as is. This is actually what I got... I didn't realize she spent so much on it...

If it has the flat zip cord a snap on switch next to the base might be easy enough for ya and work.
I wouldn't even take the other one off. Just remember it's there in case someone switches it off.

What billb said. Those are between $2-3 a piece.

That's pretty sweet! Thanks billb!

Or just rewire it completely. Not hard to do, no joke I taught how to do it in high school for my "educational speech" in speech class. Put your own inline switch in wherever it suits you

I'm late to the party on your comment... sorry! I could rewire it, I have no problem messing about with electronics and what not and my soldering skills are pretty decent. I think I was just trying to avoid making any permanent changes to the lamp. Maybe I should just get one of those belkin plugs that's internet enabled so I can turn it on and off with my phone
