I received this lamp from my sister and she said it was a remake? All I know is the pump is broken! I’m new to these and I’m curious if anyone has any information on this specific one, I couldn’t find this one online since most are so ornate.

Not sure if it helps at all but it’s plastic and has no writing (now I just need to remove all the fake moss).

I got this rain oil lamp passed down to me last October, I finally got the time to clean it up, the top part with the light and wiring seemed to be redone as the electrical tape holding everything together looked brand new, the bottom part, the hose for the pump has some sort of silicone stuff stuck around it I’m assuming to stop it from leaking? The motor looked to be pretty new as well. I started it up tonight and after about 10 minutes the drops all started going and it looked beautiful, just like when I was a child. but then after a few minutes it stopped? I still hear the motor going but little to no drops are coming out. I used mineral oil to fill it, I did 32oz at first and then the sticker said 48oz, even with the amount it said, it’s not working. Any help and advice is appreciated!

I have a knockoff version of a Verner Panton Flowerpot Table Lamp (plug-in version). It’s been knocked over a few too many times and now the lampshade holder (pictured) has gotten bent out of shape. I’ve bent it back relatively well enough but I’m hoping to replace it or get some advice on how to fix it so it’s straight.

Please advise if there’s any place selling this replacement part or if there’s any advice on how to better bend it back to being perfectly straight.

Thanks!

Hello, I bought this lamp for $20 that was missing the top piece. I’m wondering where I could source a replacement glass half dome piece that would fit the original look? This is the Cumulus table lamp by Jan Erik Lindgren.

I keep buying the wrong thing! I think it’s an antique and fits 3 light bulbs - anyone have any idea?

Does anybody know how to access the switch on a Sonneborn(?) style lamp? My wife thinks she bought it around 1985 from the Levenger Co. I'm hoping it's just a matter of replacing the dimmer. Or, cleaning it? I'm afraid to start prying stuff open with knowing what I'm doing.

Thanks

I would appreciate to have advice from more experienced people how they go about dealing with wires that do not respond to the usual method.

I usually grab both of the extending wires with a plier or slip wrench at one end of the and pull on it and they come out. If they do not I drop some lubricant in at one end of the arm and move arm in such a position that the lubricant comes out on the other end. I do this back and forth a couple of times so that the wires get fully lubricated and this usually does the job, the wires can be pulled out.

Currently I am not having success even after injecting WD40 and I already broke one of the pair of wires after pulling it too hard. I have not tried soap and water yet. Is there any other way?

Thanks in advice!

Took off the glass covers from the ceiling fan lights today for the first time ever and saw this band that’s hardened and has broken off into pieces as you can see. I’m assuming this is some sort of rubber to prevent the screwed from holding onto the glass directly.

I’m wondering if (1) there is a necessity to replace them and (2) if so, where I can buy just that vs replacing the glass covers and/or ceiling fan.

I’ve never been able to attach a shade properly. This is welded to the original harp. It probably had a glass shade originally.

It needs re-wiring and since I’ve got to do that I thought I would try and solve the problem of what to do about the top also. I can’t seem to find a part that will adapt this for a female finial. Any thoughts?
