Good video, my switch was acting just like yours, I ordered part, but just as an afrer thought, I sprayed old switch with WD40 and it started working great. Cancelled item with Amazon. .

Thanks for the video. Are all of the switches pretty much universal for all lamps. By saying all lamps, I mean 90%. Thanks

My guess is that it would work with other lamps too.

Thanks for the video! One question: why did you leave the cardboard packaging on? Thanks again!

Yes. Leave the cardboard on.

FYI. Don't get the plastic shell version. It will not allow the assembly to fit flush to the inside of the tube for the switch shaft to stick through properly. The knob will not fit on. Get the cardboard shell. I hope this helps and will save someone a headache.

I'm buying the dimmer switch through your affiliate link, but I want to know how to determine the "hot" wires from the ground wires? Or is that an issue with this set up?

Won't be an issue.

@@Hipiam Thank you very much. And thank you VERY much for creating this great video. You're the ONLY guy on YT doing a replacement dimmer switch on a regular Halogen floor lamp. Everyone else is replacing the dimmer with an on/off switch, which doesn't take full advantage of the halogen bulb.

I finally got my lamp (the exact same type in the video, except it's white) to work. Thank you very very much for your video. If it were not for this video, I would not know where to start and what type of switch to get. Thank you for that link on the switch. Both my switch and halogen bulb were bad. The problems were compounded when I installed the twist nuts wrong. I ended up getting the Wago 221 lever nuts (much easier and user-friendly) for anyone who is going to do this repair. I think your video is the only one that shows how to fix this lamp that can't be found anymore. Your video was appreciated tremendously.

Thank you for your video. I'm in the process of doing the same thing you are doing. Do I have to observe hot and neutral wires on hook-up? How does that work? Thank you.

Mine doesn't really have a dimmer, it has off, low, and high. It doesn't do anything when I turn the knob, even after replacing the bulb.

It still sound like a power issue. I would try to take it apart and replace the switch. You probably can pick on up if its not a dimmer at the local hardware store.

After buying a new replacement lamp and before throwing away a white lamp, identical to the one in the video, i was able to repair my old lamp per your help. Going to use it somewhere in the house. Thank you for the info.

Thank you for this video. I am working on a floor lamp and nothing is happening when i turn the dimmable switch from off to on. I replaced it with multiple light bulbs but no luck. I opened the base and did not see any loose wires or anything incomplete. The floor lamp also has the similar carboard dimmable switch assembly like in your video. Do you have any recommendations for me? Thank you!

I would try unplugging the lamp, remove the dimmer switch, and re-connect the wires (ie. void out the dimmer), and plug in. If the lamp comes on, the switch is bad. Replace it.
