Open the switch cover by undoing the screws. Strip both ends of the cut wire, twist it and make a hook in the wire similar to step 2 above. The hot wire will either be black or smooth (not ribbed…you should not feel bumps when you run your finger across it). Cut the hot wire in the location where you want the switch to be. NOTE: Make sure the light is unplugged before doing this step! Prepare the wires for the switchġ.
HANGING LAMP PLUG IN INSTALL
This type of switch works better than than the little ones with the rotating wheel because the wiring is securely attached to the switch…in my experience the little rotating wheel switches are difficult to install and do not always work consistently. I like to install a switch so that I don’t have to plug and unplug the light every time I want to turn it on and off. Step 3: (Optional) Add A Switch Lamp Cord Switch Plug the light in and make sure that it works. Close the plug casing and tighten the screw closed.Ħ. Make sure the wires are lined up in the slot at the bottom of the plug. Repeat this process with the wire and screw on the other side of the plug. Wrap the hooked wire around one of the screws on the inside of the plug, and tighten the screw.ģ. Undo the screw on the plug casing and open plug casing.
This is a more secure design than some of the plugs that are available…if someone happens to pull the cord, the plug should stay attached.ġ. I like this plug design because the wires are screwed onto the casing. Step 2: Attach the Plug Undo the screw on the plug If the wire is made up of multiple wires, twist them together to make it easier. If there is no exposed copper, use the wire stripper to remove about a 1/2″ of the wire outer covering to reveal the copper.
