Repair your gooseneck desk lamp yourself

There are a variety of solutions
for repairing Gooseneck Desk Lamp that can work for your problem.  Just remember to change the lamp sometimes
is the only option.

The easiest repair is to
change the lamp on your gooseneck table lamp. 
You may be obvious but sometimes we just overlook the solution.  Replace the lamp first if the lamp does not
light up.  Unique size and shape are
sometimes required in gooseneck lamps. 
So when you buy carry your old one to the store.  Remember that these special light bulbs
cost about 3 – 5 $.

Lamp clamps are of
different types such as the spring-loaded or a twisted one.  Sometimes the clamp can break or lose its
spring, making it no longer usable even if electrical parts are perfectly
fine.  In such a case, a simple stand
can be made of scrap, primer and a complementary paint.  Make a hole in the wood with a large drill
for the cord so that it can extend from the base.  It would be good if you could remove the
base without damaging the wires.  Just
remember to leave a small part of the lamp clamp so that the wood has a
little grip to hold on to the
lamp.

The function of the gooseneck
table lamp can be restarted by repairing the light socket, cord or plug.  If the cord has a cut or is worn from any
point, it can lead to poor connections. 
Start the repair by opening the bottom of the lamp and leaving several
centimeters away from the edges, cut the cord.  Now separate the thread strip the old
thread end to about ½ inches.  Repeat
the same with a new cord as well.  Now
twist the ends of both new and old wire and secure them with electrical
tape.  The use of electric nuts can
also be done.  Carefully insert the new
wire into the base and replace the base. 
If the problem is with the connector in a similar way as broken,
cracked or bent, repeat the same process.
