It’s not uncommon to change an energy-saving or regular incandescent light bulb in a lamp (chandelier), but the new one doesn’t light up! You need to immediately ring it or check it in a lamp that is well known to work. If it does not light there either, it is necessary to repair the socket or, less often, check the integrity and connection of the wires or cables in the lamp or the electrical wiring!

Before starting work, you must take

Remember, a lamp, especially an incandescent one, heats up to high temperatures! To avoid burns, always wait until it cools down! You should never screw in lamps with a power greater than that indicated in the passport for the lamp or on its socket - this threatens its breakdown and even fire!

Repairing LED and fluorescent lamps has its own characteristics, so we recommend reading our relevant instructions dedicated to this.

Do-it-yourself repair of a ceiling lamp or chandelier:

Repair instructions for a table lamp.

When repairing a table lamp, we check the integrity of the electrical circuit and socket contacts - everything is as described above, but there are also some peculiarities:

Personally, I check the table lamp as follows:— I plug it into the socket, then the switch, and carefully measure with a multimeter the presence of 220 Volts at the contacts of the socket. Just be careful not to short circuit.

Note: Energy-saving lamps can be supplied with reduced and constant voltage - take this into account when checking.

This situation is probably familiar to many: table lamp broke, we’ve already changed the light bulb and plugged it into a different socket - nothing helps.

It's 90% that the cause of the breakdown is burnt wires near the socket. This happens due to the fact that a light bulb of a larger, uncalculated power is often inserted.

Important:

If this is your case, be careful not to touch metal parts, they may be live due to the fact that the burnt wire could touch the lampshade.

The whole process will take you no more than an hour, provided that you already have all the supplies you need. At the same time, a cheap similar table lamp costs on average 300-500 rubles. Therefore, think again about whether you should repair it.

Well, if you still decide to repair, read on carefully.

What you need to repair a table lamp

Note:

The average price on the market at the time of writing is indicated for the materials. Everything you need can be bought at any electrical goods store.

Materials:

  • two-core cable about 0.5 m long, with a cross-section of at least 2.5 m?. A meter of good two-core cable costs no more than 50 rubles.
  • ceramic cartridge – 10 rub.
  • electrical tape - 10 rub.
  • heat-resistant insulation – 10 rub.

Tool:

  • screwdrivers
  • pliers (with wire cutters)

How I repaired my table lamp

I have this cute example of a Chinese green table lamp, independently decorated with little animals. 🙂

The first thing you need to do is get to the cartridge. Unscrew the lampshade fastening.

And we take out the cartridge.

As you can see, the wires were burned and torn due to strong heating, the insulation became rigid and burst.

If you have disassembled the lamp and the wires are intact, then the reason is most likely in the switch; use a multimeter or a “test screwdriver” to check the presence of voltage in the circuit before and after the switch. If there is no voltage after the switch, but there is before it, then it needs to be replaced. You can easily buy a similar switch at any electrical goods store. If there is no voltage even before the switch, then only the plug and the supply wire remain. If the plug is detachable, you can check for a broken wire. If not, we change everything along with the cable.

Important:

Before disconnecting the wires, remember or write down which wires will need to be connected in the future. There are not many wires there, the circuit is simple, I think there will be no problems.

Unfortunately, my socket was without wire clamps. To avoid soldering, I decided to replace the cartridge. The existing wires will also no longer work, so we replace them with our own, preferably with thicker insulation. Just don’t overdo it, thick wires may not fit into the metal corrugated rod. In general, before connecting them to the cartridge, I recommend checking this. The wires at the point of connection to the cartridge must be covered with thermal insulation to avoid severe overheating.

Important:

Very carefully, with little force, tighten the bolts on the chuck. Tighten it a little and the terminal will burst! Naturally, the wire will dangle and burn again. You can even buy a spare cartridge just in case, since the terminals are very weak. I didn’t find any other cartridges in my city, maybe things are better with you.

To make it easier for the wires to fit into the corrugation, wrap the ends with electrical tape.

Since the load of the light bulb is not very large (on the lampshade it is written: “maximum 60W”), you can simply twist the wires together, wrapping them well with electrical tape.

If you have a soldering iron, you can solder it, it won’t hurt, or buy special connecting terminals. As an alternative, you can use an excellent homemade wire connection using copper tubing. Don't forget to wrap the wire connections properly with electrical tape.

Put the wires in place.

Make sure, if possible, that the wires do not lean against the socket inside the lampshade.

Well that's it, ours desk lamp working again!

Do not use bulbs larger than 60W, otherwise the wires will burn out again. This is a table lamp, not a spotlight! Well, if a 60W light bulb is not bright enough, in this case, use a gas-filled one (by the way, they say these lamps are harmful and emit toxic gas) or, better yet, an LED lamp. Such lamps heat up less, so you can safely use any brightness, they will not damage the wires, and you can also save energy.

Bright light, friends! 🙂

LED lamps today are considered the most economical and durable compared to others. And although their cost is still relatively high, they are increasingly replacing incandescent and fluorescent lamps.
Why is this happening?
Mainly for two reasons:
1. incandescent lamps burn out quickly and have low efficiency,
2. Luminescent ones require special disposal as they contain mercury vapor in the flask. In addition, if you break such a lamp at home, you can expose your family to poison.
There are no such problems with LEDs. Throw them anywhere and break them to your health, they do not pose any danger - except for glass fragments.

At the same time, there are a lot of companies producing these products, and choosing a quality product among them is sometimes not an easy task.
Yes, and a famous brand does not guarantee complete confidence in the long-term uninterrupted operation of the device.
What should you do if the lamp stops shining and you can’t replace it under warranty? You can try to repair it yourself. Its structure is not complicated and does not require special tools for disassembly.
This article will describe the disassembly and repair of a standard, budget-class LED lamp. In addition, one of the possible breakdowns and its elimination is given.
The only tools you need are a screwdriver, a knife and possibly a two-handed indicator.


If there is no indicator, any “dialing” will do.
So, let's start by removing the diffuser. To do this, insert the knife blade into the gap between the glass and the plastic case and carefully move it in different directions.



The diffuser should come out of the latches and be removed without any problems.


A board with LEDs and a rectifier reveals itself.


There is also a fuse installed on the board. To make sure that it is not burnt out, we connect the ends of the continuity wire to its terminals. Light or sound indication of the device will show its serviceability. If it doesn't show up, you'll have to replace it.


When the fuse is intact, we disassemble further.
First, unscrew the two screws securing the board, after which it can be easily removed.



Under the board there is a radiator in the form of a metal flask.


Thermal paste applied to both surfaces improves the heat transfer of the board to the radiator.
If necessary, it can be changed if it has dried out. Regular thermal paste for a computer processor will do.
To continue disassembly, pull on the top of the lamp housing and it can be easily removed.



At the bottom of the case with the cartridge, you can see two metal strips, one end connected to the base, and the other with holes where the screws go.


Thus, voltage is transmitted through the screw from the base to the board.
The problem turned out to be that over time the contact became bent and did not come into contact with the board screw. Hence the lack of light from the lamp.
To eliminate this malfunction, simply bend the end of the contact strip with a screwdriver or tweezers.


Of course, you can do it better, for example, by soldering wires to the board and base. Then there will definitely be no problems with contact. But more often than not, the first simple option is sufficient.
Now you can assemble the lamp in reverse order. We put on the upper part with the radiator so that the two contacts fit into the holes.




Next, install the board and tighten it.

Repair of table lamps should begin with diagnostics. Malfunctions can be divided into several types:

1. The lamp works, but is unstable - the lamp flickers.

There may be several reasons:

Network operation is unstable, there is not enough voltage.

You can determine this by plugging the table lamp into a known-good network, or connecting it to the network using a voltage stabilizer.

2.During operation, if the cable is touched, the light turns off:

Mechanical damage to the wire.

We check the wire for internal kinks or external abrasions. If this is the reason, you need to replace the wire.

Switch fault

The lamp turns on every once in a while, and when you press the switch, a clicking sound occurs. It is necessary to make repairs (if the switch is disassembled), or replace the switch

3.When the table lamp is plugged in, the light bulb does not light up.

The cause of the malfunction can be either a burnt-out light bulb or a malfunction of the components of the lamp itself.

Important: before starting repairs, disconnect the lighting device from the electrical network!

How to repair a table lamp - we will describe the process in more detail.

1. Let's check the serviceability of the light bulb itself. If the lamp before starting work

worked, you need to wait until the light bulb cools down. Otherwise, when you try to unscrew the socket, you can damage the lamp, and then you will have to unscrew its base using pliers. Let's check the light bulb visually. If the filament has a break, then the repair is complete - install a new light bulb and turn on the lamp. If it is impossible to visually check the serviceability of the light bulb (frosted glass), then you can check it by screwing it into another lighting fixture.

2. If the light bulb is working properly, then the fault may be caused by the socket. Most often, this is a lack of contact with the light bulb due to the contact being too bent. The malfunction can be easily eliminated by bending the cartridge contact using pliers and a screwdriver.

3.If the repair of household table lamps involves replacing the cord, then the new cord must have the same cross-section as the old cord. The new cord is installed in the lamp after thoroughly cleaning its ends (preferably with a soldering iron to avoid mechanical damage to the wires). We make rings on the wires from the plug side and also process them with a soldering iron. Install the plug. This operation can be avoided by purchasing a wire with a ready-made molded plastic plug.

4.Repair of table lamps may include replacement or repair of the switch.

If preliminary diagnostics indicated this particular malfunction, then the switch can be completely replaced with a new one or repaired. Installation of a new switch is carried out by dividing the supply wire into two wires, on one of which a break is made, and the stripped ends of the wire are connected to the switch contacts.
