Lamp Cord Switches
How do I rewire an old fluorescent desk lamp?
I have an antique fluorescent desk lamp. I bought it as a kind of "basket case" because someone had yanked the power cord out of it and it pulled a lot of the wiring apart inside. I want to put new wires in and start using it.
It has just 2 wire colors, white and black. It has a ballast with just 2 wires (both black). The lamp holds a regular 2-pin (at each end) straight tube.
The switch to turn on and off has 4 wires coming out, one black and one white on each side.
Any clues? I think I know how to do this but I want to make sure.
Both wires coming out of the ballast are black. I wish it had a diagram on it like many of them do, but no such luck.
No clue where the power leads went to, they were pulled totally out of the lamp. Then the other guy took it all apart, labeled some of the wires "B" "C" "D", but that's as far as he got.
yea the do, but aslong as the wiring is 1.5mm then you're good to go go go.
if not, you'll probably need new starters and all sorts.
quickets way is to buy a slightly larger new floro, and replace the parts into your old "basketcase" model.
hth
ps.justmake sureit earthedto the outer casing if it is metal.
