B&P Lamp® Antique Brass Socket with Matching Cord Set and Basic Hardware

The B&P Lamp Keyless Table Lamp Wiring Kit worked exactly as expected. The materials feel durable and well-made, and nothing felt flimsy during installation. Assembly was very straightforward, even for someone with minimal lamp-rewiring experience. Everything fit together properly and the rotary switch works smoothly. The cord length is generous and practical, making it easy to place the lamp without needing an extension cord. Overall, it offers great value for the money and is a solid choice for repairing or building a table lamp. I would definitely purchase this kit again.

We used this to rewire an antique light fixture from my great grandma. I'm so happy that the light is now functional. The kit was complete and easy to use.

Good product, confusing instructions if you’ve never done this before. The tricky part for me was step #3, which references a ribbed wire and a smooth wire. I figured out that the ribbing is actually on the black plastic coating of the wire, not the wire itself. If you have good eyes, or use reading glasses or a magnifier, you will be able to see that one side is ribbed and the other is smooth. I also had to Google how to tie a UL knot. From that knot diagram, I realized I would need to pull the two wires a little farther apart to have room to tie the knot, and that’s when I saw the very slight difference in the black coating of the two wires. Once I figured that out it went smoothly. The diagram references many parts that are not included and may or may not be part of your lamp, which was also confusing. My lamp didn’t have a harp and lacked most of those, and I did not need any of the included metal hardware. I ran the new cord up through the rod of my existing lamp, screwed the socket cap directly to the rod, tied the UL knot, attached the wires to the socket interior and placed it, and then the socket shell. So I used only 3 parts in the diagram after trying to figure out the 10 or so shown. First lamp took me an hour, the second was five minutes.

instructions are a little vague and it's slightly difficult to tell the wires apart. There were also extra pieces with no clear purpose. The product works though and it was very easy to install otherwise.

I ordered two of these to repair a set of lights. They worked perfectly for what I needed to do. They came with instructions that I felt were easy to follow and made it a very quick repair. The price was good and they arrived quickly. I would definitely order this item again in the future.

This kit was exactly what I needed to restore my 1950s lamps. The colors matched the vintage wiring and socket well, and I feel much more confident about the safety of using these lamps with the updated wiring. Yes, I know the pic doesn't show the actual product, but dang aren't my lamps nice?

I bought a lamp and the base where the bulb sits broke almost immediately. I didn't want to pay for a whole new lamp and got this kit to try and repair it. I'm so glad that I did! The instructions were simple, the items within the kit are sturdy and I didn't feel like I was going to break them while putting it together, and it's a lot cheaper than buying a new lamp. Took me less than ten minutes to do everything. Can't say enough how happy I am with this product!

3 stars, medium product for the following reasons -pros: good price, good quality -cons: the cords, omg! i have never wired anything so the cords being more clearly labeled would have helped. the "ribbed" cord is difficult to figure out. i had to read reviews. once you split the cord run your finger gently around each cord. one cord will be smooth and one will have a plastic-y edge. initially i thought this was plastic coating remaining after i had split the top of the cord to do the UL knot. feel the bottom of the cord where it is together not split and it is easier to feel the "ribbed"

This is perfect for re-wiring an old lamp as long as the path from lamp base to neck is relatively straight or wide. Like other reviewers, I had trouble figuring out which wire was the ribbed neutral wire. I am a total beginner. The "ribbing" is vertical raised stripes down the edge of one side of the plastic covered wire. I stared, magnified, touched, and got a second opinion... finally used my tongue and that makes it more obvious which is the ribbed wire. The lamp works great now!

Exactly what we were looking for for our lamp rebuild. Quick delivery, reliable, good product value for money was on par.

I ordered this kit as I’d never wired a lamp before and wanted an easy to assemble kit with everything I’d need, to lower the electrical risks. However when the kit arrived the instructions were for a different kit. They are also very minimal (1-2 paragraphs and 1 graphic). I thought they would walk me through the process in a comprehensive way. I have been unable to assemble the socket and therefore cannot use my lamp.
