I don't have much experience with electrical issues, but here's the problem:
I have a stained glass hanging light with three 60 watt lights. Yesterday, I tried to replace a burnt out bulb in one of the sockets. When I tried to screw the light in, the part that holds the lightbulb became semi-detached from the socket and shorted out the bulb and severed one of the wires connecting the socket to the rest of the light (there are two wires for each socket).
I assume that I could just replace the light fixture part of this light, but would I need to take down the fixture from the ceiling, or what is the easiest way to do this??
It is obvious to me that the light fixture that came with this light is really cheap and hopefully I can find a better one. I really like the stained glass shell so I want to keep that and not replace the whole fixture.
I could really use your help. I don't want to leave the thing like this for long because of the wire that is hanging from one of the sockets.
