How to Install a Lamp Light Switch
- 1). Unplug the lamp from the wall to avoid electrical shock.
- 2). Take the shade off the lamp to expose the bulb and switch apparatus.
- 3). Locate the small bolt beneath where the bulb screws in.
- 4). Take the circular, plastic or metal switch, and screw it onto the bolt you located in the previous step. You’ll need to twist it against the direction you would to turn the light on. When it’s tight, the switch should click when turned.
- 5). Plug the lamp in and replace the shade to begin using the new switch.
