I want to remove the cone but retain the bulb socket. Any idea on how to do that? It seems the bulb socket is retained in the cone with two metal brackets, but if I try using a pair of pliers to dislodge it then the socket itself breaks. See attached photos.
What brand fixture is that ?
I've never seen those two dark colored brackets before.
Normally you'd squeeze the tabs on the socket and it would come right out.
Hi everyone, I have this really cool fibre optic lamp

[i]Where would the cog go? I have a 70's fibre optic lamp [/i]with silver ball base. It was making a slight whirring noise, so I opened the base and discovered a thin cog sitting loose. Could this cause the whirring sound? I have no idea where it goes. Are these lamps renowned for having a whirring sound?
Thank you. Tracey
So I've got 2 single-bulb shop lights on a 3way circuit along with another fluorescent fixture. I recently pulled the ballasts out of the shop light fixtures since one of them died and bypassed them so I could just install LED Bypass Bulbs in their place. Unfortunately, I had a really difficult time finding the bulbs I needed in the color temperature that I wanted that are also not blinding. They're dimmable, but the other fixture is not... so I wanted to attach something like a potentiometer, but not a potentiometer, to the romex just before it gets to the bypassed fixtures. What can I do this with?
It's gotta stay a 3 way switch
I don't think they make the other fluorescent bulb in LED and I don't want to spend the money on one if they do.
Besides that, I really only want these two lights to be dimmable.
Thanks
