Re: [DIY] Re Loose Sockets

 

Be sure to check for power AT THE SOCKET! Use a voltage probe. Some jerk electricians put breakers on the neutral side, which leaves the socket hot. One of my friends lost her son th such an arrangement.

I suspect that the lamp sockets are white porcelain with a short stem
protruding through the brass globe holder.....This stem is held in place
by a thin 1/8-28 pipe nut.......The electric wires, which are connected
to the socket, pass through the stem and weaved through the supporting
chain to the top of the fixture and power source.......Tightening this nut
will prevent the socket from turning and twisting the wire connection......
Then using the other suggestions, on this forum, you can remove the
the bulbs.....You may want to consider using candelabra shaped bulbs
that will pass through the globes as replacements to avoid problems
in the future.......Pumps
